<p>I know 2013 sounds like it's far away for some but Junior year is coming fast so I personally need to see my options. </p>
<p>Starting next year I will be in the IB Programme in Florida. Currently my unweighted GPA is a 3.8, having my weighted GPA at 4.5. By the end of Senior Year I should have roughly 200+ service hours, graduate by being involved in school clubs, such as National Honor Society, French Honor Society, Beta Club, Best Buddies and InterACT. In addition I will have a total of 5 years studying the French language. </p>
<p>So should I apply for this school based on what I said? I'm guessing I would have to see what my SAT or ACT scores are. </p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>It’s not about the scores only, you should them you’re a good match, through your extra-curricular activities, essays, and application overall.

<p>It seems like the school looks for those who are well-rounded rather than all academics.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nah. To pseudo-quote Matt, MIT takes everyone from the well-rounded to very pointy. I know people who did all sorts of activities in high school - I know others who, say, only touched computers that entire time. MIT looks for people with the will to pursue awesome things, which can lead people on all sorts of paths.</p>
<p>But it’s definitely more than numbers. As emadwilliam suggested, go read the Match page.</p>
