Hi, I am a freshman that lives in Montana and have always had big aspirations to go to MIT. I just completed my first semester and had a grade average of 96.8 with all honors that my school offers. My highest grades were Bio which I got a 100 in and Geometry which I got a 99 in, my lowest were English and Spanish with a 93. Currently, I want to pursue Computer Science at MIT, and I have my own company Bulletproof Interactive. I have made an app and published it to the app store, and have been paid to make multiple apps and websites for other people. My only EC was football which I am not continuing next year. I also am really big in hunting and fishing, but not really sure if that counts as an EC. I plan to do Academic team as a sophmore, but that’s about the only EC I am even remotely interested in. I just want to know if I am on the right track or if I should be doing trying to do other things like more ECs. Thanks!
Come back to this forum as a junior when you can show more stats

It may be 6+ years old, but it’s still as true today as it was then.
