<p>I think AP + SAT require a different kind of intelligence than olympiads. As I indicated earlier I have participated in olympiads but didn’t get far (not for lack of trying), while I found most of my AP classes (and all of the SATs) really easy. As for Robotics, I am a member since freshman year.</p>

<p>Thanks. I am applying to MIT too.</p>

<p>Haha. I’m just worried since I have no research/not great olympiad stuff/other unique stuff, in other words, no real “hook” besides straight academics.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that I’m an NMSF (240 PSAT); applying for Finalist and I think almost everyone who applies gets it?</p>

<p>Well… I mean, I don’t believe that in the admissions office they seem to check if this kid did a research paper of something, your going to that school to learn to do that.</p>

<p>What I do definitively see is that they’ll say that your really advanced in math and the idea and concept that your in the math Olympiads says something.</p>

<p>Ec: Meh.</p>

<p>Though when I saw this I went. :O. So I believe your going to do great.</p>

<p>A’s and A-'s do not make a difference… I think people are underplaying your accomplishments… you’ll honestly have no problem</p>

<p>Relax. You’re in!</p>
