<p>Yep. =)
And I would like to apply for MIT after high school. I know it is a bit early, but still.
Any suggestions on what I can do in high school or outside of it to raise my chances?</p>
<p>get good grades an test scores.. the obvious
develop your interests try to find practical experience in the field you are interested in</p>
<p>Naturally,
but it is difficult to do so when I go to a high school and cannot take more advanced classes ( even though I am qualified ) simply because the school does not do special classes for most people. I don't understand that part.</p>
<p>i'm in the same position you are in..
try to take a course over the summer,
or if you can find research, though this is rather hard for rising sophomores, you might want to try emailing some local university professors,
find a summer program related to your interests, cosmos is the only science program for rising sophomores i have been able to find, admissions are competitive but not prestigious, there also also some other programs that focus solely on math</p>
<ul>
<li>Start taking the SAT and ACT early so that you have plenty of time to improve.</li>
<li>Take SAT Subject Tests as soon as you are ready.</li>
<li>Take any AP and/or IB classes that your school offers.</li>
<li>If your school does not have many AP or IB classes you could Dual-Enroll at the local college.</li>
<li>Apply for summer programs at MIT along with other summer programs at other schools.</li>
<li>Volunteer in the field that you would like to study.</li>
<li>Participate in activities that are similar to your intended major.</li>
<li>And finally, receive good grades.</li>
</ul>
<p>Self-study AP courses to make up for the lack of educational challenge at your school.</p>
<p>It'll show initiative and self-governance over one's studies.</p>
