<p>BTW, I know a kid at MIT who had stats similar to yours and he is thriving there. MIT allowed him to take whatever courses he wanted to. He was taking graduate level math courses his freshman year. He took some college physics and didn’t like it. Then he tried comp sci and found that it was a great way to apply his interest in theoretical math. He is now doing research in theoretical CS as a junior at MIT (he will be entering his 3rd year at MIT next fall) and is hoping to be published before he graduates. In fact, he could graduate early, but has decided to stay 4 years so he can work on his research. He then hopes to get into the PhD program of his choice. The point is that MIT was flexible enough for him to get the rigorous math courses he wanted and experiment with other courses and avoid the courses he had no interest in. MIT isn’t necessarily trying to graduate students who are well-rounded academically, but is more interested in allowing students to pursue their interests to the nth level.</p>
