I am currently a junior in high school. I have a strong academic record, but not a lot of ECs. I would like to go to MIT or CalTech, but with the lack of ECs, it is impossible for me to get in. Assuming I go somewhere else, then plan to transfer to MIT or CalTech, where should I go? What colleges (that are easier to get into than MIT) have had students transfer to MIT/CalTech?
<p>Try your best to boost your EC's now and while a senior, because transferring into MIT (and I assume CalTech) is extremely hard. (Around four people were admitted via transfer last year, mainly because the freshman class overenrolled). Definitely apply - it's worth a shot. Unfortunately I don't know of what the best schools to attend in preparation for transfer to MIT are. I assume any good engineering school. Good luck!</p>
