<p>Hello guys !</p>

<p>I'm french and just 14 YO...
I love maths/physics/biology ! But i prefer physics and i want to be an astronautical engineer!
And i'd like to know if people who are at MIT,Caltech...are just gifted or people who have hard worked in their high school!</p>

<p>Thank you !</p>

<p>And I'm not gifted, just a bit smarter than average...lol!
And i really want to go there and i'm really motivated so i can work hard, but i don't know how to do, someone there can help me?
I really love science and i see some people who know things that my Phd friend doesn't know, and i'd like to know how the do?
Thank you to all of you !</p>

<p>gifted or diligent…</p>

<p>many people at those school are both,</p>

<p>but being very gifted or very hardworking will do the job.</p>

<p>I’d say it’s always going to be a mix of gifted/hard working at top schools. Those who work hard have high GPAs and good ECs. Those who are gifted can pull off high SAT/ACT scores. You need all of these to get in. You’re young, just continue to work hard and see how well you like Physics after taking it in high school.</p>
