<p>I am currently a sophomore. My overall avg is an 87. My forte is math and i currently have a 98 avg in mathematics. I plan to major in mathematics and possibly physics as well. Since its an engineering based school, will they overlook my poor english grades? I am currently in the science olympiad team and math team and i am planning on staying on them until senior year. I am confident that i can qualify for USAMO next year since i solve AIME problems everyday. I havent taken the SATs.
So what else do you think i can do to be admitted?</p>
<p>Don’t let yourself slack in your weaker classes. You should do what you can to pull those up, even if they aren’t weighed as heavily (for the record, they shouldn’t hurt you that much, especially in your freshman/sophomore years). If you improve, the effort will be noticed by the admissions personnel and help your overall chances. It wouldn’t hurt to join one or two more clubs or teams. A club leadership position or community service experience will help you stand out.</p>
<p>Beyond that, keep doing what you’re doing. Good job on the math grades!</p>
<p>Thanks. I am planning on joining the wrestling team next year</p>
