<p>So this is my story, I graduated for high school in new hampshire, about a year ago. Thoughout all of my high school career i have been obssesed with cars, mostly engines and its mechanics. So i took all of the auto classes they offered and pretty much only did well in those classes(like a 2.3 GPA). I just scraped by to graduate and moved to arizona to pursue my education as an automotive technician at the universal technical institute. After about three weeks attending there i quickly realized that my true calling was in engine designing and manufacturing. So i dropped out of UTI and applied at the local community college and am now pursuing a degree in mechnical engineering. So after i get my associate's degree at the community college I want to transfer to MIT in cambridge, I feel they have to best mechanical engineering program in the country(and it is a amazing looking school). I am willing to do whatever it takes to get accepted there but i am afraid my past has already created great conflict in getting accepted.
So what i am asking is if anyone reading this had any advice for me getting in this school??</p>
<p>I’d say your best shot would be to perform well in your CC classes, then if possible transfer to ASU in tempe or University of Arizona down in Tucson and complete your bachellor’s degree in mech. engineering. If you can do that and maintain at high (3.5+) GPA i think your past in High school will largely be forgiven and you will have a decent shot at MIT… that said even with just a degree from one of the state universities you are probably in great shape for a career. gl man</p>
