<p>Did you take honors classes? I had a 4.0 with all honors soph year. </p>
<p>My PSAT was 188 and my sat was 1940</p>
<p>With MITES it’s not about how high your scores are. They want to see good ones, but it’s the essays that show your drive and who you are that count</p>
<p>Hahah, no, but I’m currently taking two junior classes - Precalculus and Chemistry. Besides that, my only honors class is English.</p>
<p>What are some of the essay questions? I swear I’ve seen them before, but I can’t find them now as the application process is complete.</p>
<p>I had those classes as a soph too lol except they were honors. Idk if MITES takes into consideration if we take advanced classes but at a lower level. They probably do. </p>
<p>The essays don’t change. From what I can remember: what are your academic goals and how will attending MITES help them? How has your ethnic or racial identity influenced your academic or personal goals (not exactly sure)? What is one academic, or personal obstacle you have overcome? And… Which EC influenced you the most?</p>
<p>I don’t know either, but I’ll have 5 APs next year (suicide? Yep).</p>
<p>Thanks for the essay questions.
So … they consider these essays much much more than anything else?</p>
<p>Yes. As do many schools in admission. On MITs common data set page, they weigh personality/essays mor than grades, GPA, ECs, and test scores. </p>
<p>This year I have 3 APs 2 honors and next year I’ll have 4 APs 1 honors.</p>
<p>More******</p>
<p>do you any of you know how to calculate gpa on a 4.0 scale, the websites are very confusing</p>
<p>It’s different everywhere. At my school, UW GPA goes like this:
A+ = 4.3
A = 4.0</p>
<p>And every level down is minus .3
Ie A- = 3.7 etc</p>
<p>@Mascara 5 AP classes is ok (I’m taking five right now)…so don’t worry about it 
I’m taking 6 next year, which is really gonna kill me xD</p>
<p>EDIT: Meant to write 6 AP classes :P</p>
<p>and yeah, focus more on your essays.</p>
<p>There aren’t even 12 APs at my school</p>
<p>oh…how many AP’s does your school offer?</p>
<p>My school offers 17 AP classes</p>
<p>@chowaznmein -
There aren’t even seven periods at my school. Are you self-studying?</p>
<p>I’ll make sure to focus on my essays, and I’ll stick around to see the results of this year’s admissions process. (Wow, it sounds like you guys are applying to a college.)</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you juniors (:</p>
<p>9 APs and when I graduate I will have 7 under my belt n</p>
<p>We have 7 periods a day</p>
<p>And thanks mascara</p>
<p>@Mascara Thanks. There are a total of 5 periods in a day now (due to the trimester system >_>) So, I’m gonna drive to another local school after 4th period to take 2 more AP classes because they are based on a quarter system. So, as a result, I would be taking a total of six different AP classes the whole year, but actually just 5 AP classes everyday.</p>
<p>Wait a second…I meant 6 AP classes on the earlier post :P</p>
<p>we have semesters</p>
<p>ughh the wait is killing me</p>
<p>wait…some people aren’t allowed to take AP classes in their sophomore year? D:</p>
<p>we aren’t unless you transferred from a catholic school where you were ahead. you can only take them in jr and sr</p>
<p>ps here’s my chance thread bump please

<p>in our school to get a 4.0 unweighted you have to get all 100’s
