<p>I am a Junior and I have recently been doing a lot of research into undergraduate business programs that I am interested in and MIT's Sloan School of Management seems so amazing in its student life, the courses they offer, and rigor of the curriculum. However I know that their business school is probably more focused on the quantative/ more mathematical side of finance/economics/business and that worries me a little bit. You see, I have entered into very few math competitions due to the limited resources my school has (its a brand new high school that opened 3 years ago) and the most intense math related activity I have done is attending a 6 week nationally recognized summer math camp for the past two summers and doing research my second summer (but that was a failure as my research group did not get along.) Other than that, my ECs interest seem more liberal art based and less math/science focused though I did participate in our school's robotics program and help write grants for my sponsor to get robotics materials funding; i have also placed at state for our team's robotics inventions.

Went to a 6 week math for 2 summers and did research (but that failed) my past summer
At 15, was youngest person in the state to pass the IRS certification form so I could be certified to help file taxes to low income families</p>
<p>As you can see my strengths aren't particularily in math and I was wondering if that would hurt my chances if I were to apply EA to MIT next year. In addition, is the rigor/curriculum at MIT hard enough that it requires more than 2 hours of studying for every hour of class you signed up for?</p>
<p>Thank all of you so much for your help!</p>
