<p>I am currently a sophomore in high school and this is my application. At least a part of it.
Freshman year:
Gpa: 3.1
Sophomore year:
Gpa: 3.8, 2 APs, 5 ECs, conducting cancer research
Junior year:
5 APs: computer science, english, chem, calculus, us history, will work on making a cyclotron
During the summer: soph- jun; going to Boston college to take courses in genetics
Jun-sin; going to MIT to take courses there and taking differential equations
Senior year: 5 APs: physics, stat, English, gov, and haven't decided for 5th. Also will take linear algebra.
I want to drop Spanish because I'm already bilingual( came to us recently) in my junior year so I can't take AP computer science, is that bad? I don't like Spanish at all and I love science and MIT states it requires 2 years of foreign language. What else should I do? Is this a "good" application?
Thank you on your opinions and advices</p>
<p>Reach for MIT
A. It’s MIT
B. MIT is more score oriented then other schools and honestly a a sub 3.7 isn’t gonna cut it
C. Mediocre ECs
Best advice i can offer is get a 2400 on SAT or 36 on ACT</p>
<p>A sub 3.7 from an average of two years.</p>
<p>Let’s take a step back and think realistically…MIT is flooded with thousands of apps with 4.0s UW with 12 APs and 2200+ SATs…I mean why should MIT pick a sub 3.7 when they have 4K students with 4.0s and 2200s UW. I don’t mean to be rude, just realistic. I would apply to MIT but have plenty of back up schools</p>
<p>So, SAT should be in 2200s+?</p>
<p>Yes but it will be a struggle overcoming your GPA for MIT, I would look into UVA, RIT, UCs, GT, and others those are in much better range for you than MIT. Not only that you need better ECs, and more leadership</p>
<p>President of BPA, inducted into nhs, snhs, and 100+ hours of volunteering, math league, science Olympiad medals, will undergo intel research competition, might go to CERN or NASA during senior year, what else?? I have to be at least considered, any more ECs?</p>
<p>In my opinion your extra curricular activities are excellent. However, your GPA is lousy (relatively speaking). Usually A’s are easy to pull off in high school, yet you seem to be a B/A- student.</p>
<p>That was in freshman year, I got here around they time I needed to figure out the system. Also I have all As only B in Spanish</p>
<p>sorry I didn’t see your ECs but yes very good ECs i would say low reach</p>
