<p>good stats!! do you have any leadership positions in clubs or organizations? and what about sports? colleges like to see that you’ve done well in classes and on tests, but it’s also important to show that you’re a leader and that you have special traits that set you apart from everyone else. and if you want to get into MIT, you can’t expect close to an 800 on the SAT II: Math II. You need an 800.</p>

<p>My son is graduating a year early, too. We went to a MIT/Yale presentation the other day and the MIT guy said no problem, several early h.s. graduates get accepted every year.</p>
