<p>I think it could depend on what school you apply to. I know SCS is extraordinarily competitive, with SAT scores that match the ivy league’s. SCS would be tough to get into no matter what. But since you want to do physics, MCS is slightly less selective and you would probably have a better chance. I think it would really come down to the subjectives–essays, letters of rec, and extracurriculars. The summer program, I think, should help. I can’t give you a definitive answer on how the admissions officers will look at your situation, but to me, you seem like someone who’s genuinely interested in learning as much as possible, which is a good thing. I think, given your passion, you should definitely go ahead and apply. You have a good enough shot if you can effectively show the admissions officers that you are more than your grades.</p>
<p>This is just my opinion as another junior. Good luck!</p>
