Is there any chance I can get into MIT?

<p>I would like an honest answer, besides even if I cannot get into MIT, I can probably get into another very good university. Here is my status at the moment:</p>

<p>I am currently attending my first year of community college at Texas where am getting my Associate of Science degree and currently have a 4.0 GPA having completed only 6 classes so far. I moved to Texas with my sister after leaving my parents and school in Kansas. I am only 17 and I will be 18 in June.</p>

<p>I didn't have... The best childhood. It really doesn't matter, all that you need to know is that I suffered through a lot of depression as as a result I didn't give school any thought. For all intents and purposes I might as well have failed every High School class I was in. I dropped out of High School as a freshman before I moved here.</p>

<p>I have plans. Hopes and dreams. I want to help people, to make a difference in the world, if going to a prestigious university will help me accomplish my goals, that is what I am going to do. Its the reason I want to go to MIT, or any other distinguished university, but it isn't just that. I want the best possible education I can get as well. Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, History, there is so much to learn, and I enjoy every moment of leaning. Most people are hungry for dinner, I have cravings for knowledge.</p>

<p>I am willing to study, I am willing to work as hard as I can and persevere, I will even get on a Polyphasic sleeping schedule if it will give me more time to study before I transfer.</p>

<p>I need your advice, I need to know what classes I should take, what activities I should get into, and who I should contact at MIT to maximize my chances of getting in. Most importantly, I need to know if it is even possible.</p>

<p>Thank you for your responses.</p>

<p>I don’t know much about transfers but MIT loves applicants who show passion in something. this could be anything. the most cliche but critical point to note is that make sure your application reflect who you are.</p>

<p>Good luck with everything man!</p>

<p>Thanks, I will need it… Does anyone have any recommendations on classes? Will staying for three years instead of two negatively affect my transfer?</p>

<p>Decent chance.</p>
