Getting into MIT

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Hey everybody that may or may not read this, I need some help. The time I have left to get my application together is winding down faster than I could’ve ever imagined, and right now, I really want the thing that I probably need the least: other people’s opinions. I’m currently a senior at a vocational high school and I’ll provide the rest of my stats below
-4.25 GPA
-5th in my graduating class
-1500 SAT score
-Co-operative Education (Getting a job in your vocational area of choice)
-Track Freshman + Sophomore year
-Cross Country Sophomore + Junior year (elected captain for senior but had to give it up due to other activities and work obligations)
-SkillsUSA Junior + Senior year (district gold medalist as a junior)
-DECA (entrepreneurship competition) Senior year
-No history of community service

No idea if this is good enough for such a school, but worth a shot right? Thanks for the read!

There is not enough information to chance you. What area would you like to study? Also, how rigorous are your classes? Have you taken calculus and lab sciences (including physics, chemistry, and biology)? Two years of a foreign language? Two SAT subject tests? Those, as well as teacher recommendations from specific subjects, are MIT requirements.

Going for engineering (most likely mechanical), my school doesn’t offer AP courses so I’m enrolled in all honors, math up through calculus, I’m about to take Mathematics II and Physics subject tests two weeks from now, and I have a math and English teacher from my junior year (both of whom I’m very close with) writing recs for me

And yes two years of Spanish

Do you have time to get MIT Maker Portfolio ready? It’s optional, though.
