<p>probably mechanical, but i’ve been leaning more toward electrical as i talk to more adults. yep. but i’m not 100% sure, thats why i kind of prefer school wher eyou dont have ot declare</p>
<p>oh en gineering i mean</p>
<p>Are you able to sign up the Physics Heat and Light Class for second semester (December-???)? This way, you can balance out your workload.</p>
<p>i just want to take both cc classes, since i figured it would be like basically taknig a sport in terms of time. basiclaly 2-4 hours a day, same as a sport. and i have no idea if they’ll ever off physics or differential eq as a night class, i was just lucky this time, so i dunno if its wise to drop it.</p>

<p>I didn’t bring up MIT’s average ACT score to compare with the OP’s ACT score. I brought up ACT scores to show what kind of people, by percentile, the OP is competing with in order to obtain a seat to MIT. </p>

<p>Of course the schedule you’re taking isn’t for the average person, but MIT, Stan, etc, aren’t looking for average, either.</p>
<p>To tie the ACT scores back into, this schedule isn’t more rigorous than 96% of the high school population, in my [very humble] opinion.</p>
<p>That’s ALL I meant to say.</p>
<p>so would it be rigorous for the average MIT/Stanford student?</p>
<p>I’m amused by the chatter you’re getting to your post.</p>
<p>I think that your schedule without the CC classes is a strong schedule. If you do well on the high school courses you will have a very competitive course load.</p>
<p>The two CC courses are suspect. It is very unlikely that they are being thought at an “MIT/Stanford” level so it’s unclear why you would take them. You won’t want to place out of advanced physics and/or applied math course at your eventual college. That’s probably not an option, and even if it were, you would be wise to take the college courses. Gaps in math and physics are very difficult to overcome, and gaps there will be in the CC courses you’re taking. I strongly doubt that these courses will impress admissions departments.</p>
<p>Stick with AP Statistics. It’s an important subject for all engineering and science fields.</p>
<p>I wonder if there is something you can do in place of your CC courses that would strengthen your application – as for example a community project, an internship, etc.</p>
