Hi,
With the school year approaching quickly, I need to start finding some summer opportunities for 2016. I would like to get into MIT launch as my first pick, and the Stanford high school program as my second pick (Do note that I’m not doing these programs to pad my application, but rather I’m genuinely interested in them). I will be a sophomore this year, and a rising jr. for the summer of 2016. Unfortunately MIT launch gives priority to seniors, however I thought I would still apply for it. Hopefully you guys can chance me for these two programs, thanks ahead of time.
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Age: 16 by the time I go to the programs
GPA: N/A since I haven’t started my sophomore year yet. I’m aiming for a 4.0 though
SAT: Taking in the fall, my projected score is 2000 but I’m studying for the rest of the summer so I’m hoping I can get around a 2100 on it.
I’ll be taking AP US World History, unfortunately this is the only AP class my school offers for sophomores.
I’m currently attending Regis University (Online) focusing on business and computer science. (I will have around 21 credits by the time I apply for these programs).
ECs (This is my most lacking department… unfortunately):
50+ hours of volunteering at a non profit
Designing and coding websites for non-profits
Forensics team
Mountain bike high school league
Started my own business and made around $25,000
Started my own web development business, it is still up and running
Worked for multiple companies as a programmer
I develop mobile apps, I’ll have multiple apps published by the time I apply
I speak fluent Spanish
Maybe I may be starting a non-profit soon, it depends if some plans fall through or not (If they don’t fall through I’ll have it started before I apply).
I may also be able to get a letter of recommendation from one of my professors at Regis. If not I can get one of my teachers at school to write me one.
Thanks again!
