I know that MIT is a highly selective college, but of course I still want to apply.
I got a 2220 on my SAT 770 Cr 780 Math and 670 Writing.
I don’t participate much in school because of family obligations.
I do hold a job, participate in my youth at my church, and volunteer.
I got accepted to NJGSS and will be going.
I scored the highest in my county on the MERCK testing in the integrated portion.
I am ranked in the top 2% of my school.
I know I will have great recommendation letters based on what I received from my teachers for NJGSS.
I have received Gold and silver medals for various Russian competitions (spoken Russian and essays)
I just want to know if my application is even strong enough to apply to MIT.
I got in with a 610 on CR and 680 on writing, so yes it’s still possible.
Sorry forgot to write about course rigor. I have been taking almost every AP course offered in my class. I took honors physics and ended with 99 avg. while most others struggled for an A. I finished honors precalc with a 98 avg. Next year i will be taking AP bio AP physics AP Calc AP Lit Russian 4. I wont be taking a lunch because of how many classes I am taking.
Wow that’s so reassuring but what did you have that made you stand out?
Made USAMO and won a couple state- and national-level competitions, interesting ECs, strong rec letters.
My HS course rigor was decent, although there were lots of APs that I could’ve taken but chose not to take.
