<p>I'm going to be a senior for the 2012-2013 school term and I'm planning on attending MIT. What I'm worried about is that I'm not going to be taking any AP classes at all. Will I still have a chance getting in? Should I change my classes to add in AP classes?</p>
<p>Did you take a decent amount your first 3 years? I mean they will be looking for someone who had a rigerous senior schedule so they know they’re willing to challange themselves. You pretty much need to take AP bio, chem, physics, calc and all of those if you want to appear competitive with the rest of the applicants. Unless you have perfect SAT scores or have a cure for cancer, I’d recommend at least one of two AP classes!</p>

Well this year I will be taking honors physics and St.Peters University leveled calculus. I don’t know if that’s good enough?</p>

<p>Have you taken at least 4-5 AP classes already? But keep in mind MIT is a very comparative and selective school so if you still have the chance to take some AP classes, by all means take them! The hard work will pay off in the long run if you get accepted, so why not.</p>
<p>competitive* not comparative</p>
<p>I’ve only taken one ap class and it was for English. But you are right, I will definitely take your advice. Thank you so much!</p>
<p>Also, I’ve done many ECs but I did not have any leadership positions for any of them. What will be my chances as far as that?</p>
<p>That will hurt your chances, a strong applicant (in terms of ECs) will have leadership, community service and a lot of hours devoted to both. My guess is your chances won’t be that great, especially if you took one AP last year and have no leadership.</p>
