Hi,
I’m a senior and, although it is my dream school, I am not sure whether I am competitive to apply to MIT.
Here are some stats:
I am Latino (born in Brazil, but U.S citizen)
I have a new SAT of 1470 ( I am taking it again and think I can get a 1520-1540)
I have a 760 Math II and 720 Physics SATII (I could score higher, should I retake them?)
I skipped Sophomore year (I took IGCSEs as a substitute), I moved to the U.S. before junior year.
I have a 5.6 GPA weighted cumulative (6.1 current)
I got a 5 on APUSH and APLang (I am taking AP Physics 1, AP Lit, AP Government, AP Computer Science principles, AP Macroeconomics, and taking AP CalcAB{just the test, not the class})
I am an officer for a First Robotics team ( we went to worlds 2 years in a row); I have conducted research in Myoelectric prosthesis, built a prototype and am improving it; I am my FBLA chapter president (founded our chapter); I run the school store; I am a officer in my schools Model UN club; I volunteer at a physical rehabilitation center; I have won the school science fair (2 years) and am competing in others (possibly ISEF and Google); I am an award winning visual artist (I have had my art exhibited and have done commissioned works); I used to swim(but i am terrible).
I am submitting a Art and Maker portfolio.
I know my test scores are too low, but do I still have a shot? Should I give up applying? Do you have any advices on where to improve?
