Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone. This is my first time on the forum.</p>

<p>I have some questions regarding getting into MiT and CmU. These are both schools that I would love to get into. Here is how my transcript is likely to end up.</p>

<p>FRESHMAN YEAR (cirriculum 1's which are not quite honors but modify weighted GPA by one pt I think at my school. My high school is very competitive)</p>

<p>Algebra (A-)
Introductory Physics (B)
World Literature I (A-)
World History I (A-)</p>

<p>SOPHOMORE YEAR</p>

<p>Algebra (B)
Chemistry (A-)
World Literature II (B)
World History II (B)</p>

<p>JUNIOR YEAR</p>

<p>Trig/Precal (A)
Biology (A)
US Literature (A)
US History (A)
French (A)
Engineering elective (A)</p>

<p>SENIOR YEAR</p>

<p>Calculus (A)
Physics senior elective (A)
Engineering elective (A)
French (A)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Travel (Not just any travel but the educational kind, sightseeing, learning about countries' histories and art, etc)</p>

<p>Chess club</p>

<p>Designing things</p>

<p>Also I really enjoy learning via the MiT open course ware. Will this help my chances?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Any real chances will need more info, like your SAT and ACT with breakdowns and your GPA (weighted and unweighted), and any hooks (e.g. legacy, first-generation, etc) you have.</p>

<p>From what I can tell you so far, things aren’t looking good, especially if you have no AP classes, and 3 extracurriculars. </p>

<p>Using MiT open course ware will do nothing to your chances.</p>
