<p>Hi guys! So, recently I've started thinking about college seriously (i know, kinda late for MIT) and I was just wondering if I would have a chance at MIT lol.
btw (again) i'm a junior
Stats:
SAT M: 800 R: 700 W: 680
SAT II Physics 800, Chem 770
AP World 3 (def. not submitting)
Freshman year made AIME with 120 on AMC10A
Sophomore year made USAJMO, 138/8/6</p>
<p>Been in school's a capella choir and fencing team since freshman year, took part in NYC math team sophomore year
95.6 expected transcript by this term, idk about out of 4.0, i didn't get anything below a 90 yet</p>
<p>That's pretty much it.
*I'm also taking AP English, US History, Comp Sci, and Calculus. Yep, totally challenging myself.</p>
<p>edit: also am in school's chorus, and band for freshman and sophomore year too.
And yeah, I want to become a comp sci major, so I guess these extra currics are pretty weak. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>my friend just got into MIT!
Do you have any community service?
Can you raise your SAT writing?
How is your essay writing/do you think your essays will stand out from the other thousands of applications?
And are your grades typically A- or strong A, A+? Everything seems pretty good but definitely keep your grades in the high A, A+ area as much as possible (not that you wouldn’t want to! lol!)
Good luck applying if you are next year! I’m sure you’re going to get into some pretty amazing schools!</p>
<p>Well, I have about 60 hours at a community library now, I think (over 2 summers).
AP English has definitely made me better at writing essays. I somehow got one of the toughest teachers in school, lol
I have some events in my life that can help make my essays slightly better I guess.
My grades in English are generally A-, History oscillating up to A, Science A (ouch), Math A+, Tech A+. Yeah, i’ll work on increasing grades lol
Thanks!</p>
<p>additional info, if useful:
my school offers multivariate calculus and differential equations, which i plan to take senior year. I also plan to take genetics and physical chemistry, but I don’t know if I should take AP Bio, or like AP Chem (the easier class in our school), or organic chem, or try to get into astronomy and also modern physics??</p>
