<p>Ok so I'm going to apply to MIT next year I have a few questions about applications:</p>
<p>1.) I scored a 117 on AMC10... should I bother including it if i don't score higher on the AMC12 next year?</p>
<p>2.) In middle school, my school made it to the national Science Olympiad competition 3 years in a row (i was on the team each year) and one year i won a bronze medal. Should i bother including this or does MIT not give a crap about middle school achievements?</p>
<p>3.) Also, sophomore year I took AP Calc AB instead of BC. I got a 99 in AP Calc AB (out of 100). Will MIT question why I didn't take BC instead? Also, I think I may have scored a 4 on the exam... so i'll have to take the BC exam and use the 5 on the AB subsection next year-right?</p>
<p>

<p>MIT will be utterly disappointed that you only took Calc AB by sophomore year instead of something more challenging, like multivariable. (How could you.) Not only that - only a 99 in math? You are expected to have at least 100, IheartMIT, preferably higher.</p>

<p>No way! 
117 is such a bad score.</p>
<p>Seemingly intelligent people have a strange habit of asking the dumbest questions on CC.</p>
<p>^Who was asking dumb questions? (all right, that was a dumb question.)</p>
<p>Anyway, I was taking Calc AB as a senior (though admittedly I did self study and take the BC exam to make up for my lack academic dedication). Haha, I feel like such a slacker :p.</p>

<p>On the MIT application, there is a whole page of an “additional information” section where you can write about anything that did not specifically fit in the application itself, such as a research abstract, another short essay, etc. You can certainly mention the science olympiad competition there if you so wish.</p>
<p>that 99 in AB was inflated… my teacher had no idea what he was doing and he didnt cover half of the material and as a result I think i got a 4 on the ap exam. sorry if these seem like dumb q’s.</p>
