<p>How is it that you've only taken six classes? Are you a sophomore right now?</p>
<p>If you are, you ought to put off listing colleges until next year, and focus on doing all you can to meet the bar allowed by your school.</p>

<p>So what do my scores need to be like when I take the ACT in february?</p>
<p>bizzzzzzzzzump</p>
<p>Little chance at MIT unless you do something extraordinary within the next year. Doooooooo etttttttt. Start a science club or local chapter of a national club, start a business (even lawn-mowing or something), etc. Either of those two things, combined with a near-perfect math SAT score, might just get you in.</p>
<p>Hey thanks...Funny you say that because I was just thinking about my insignificant ECs...I gotta do research or something</p>
<p>Let me point to this question in my original post:</p>
<p>"Any other great engineering/math schools I should consider?"</p>
<p>I'm thinking now of:</p>
<p>Wash U STL
U. of Ill.-Urbana-Champagne
Cornell
Purdue (??...Haven't looked into it yet)
MIT (ha!)
CalTech (ha!)
Harvard (ha!)</p>
