<p>I am 16 years old and I am homeschooled and have been homeschooled for the last 6 years. The reason why I am homeschooled is because I play tennis and it has always been my goal to get into college through tennis but I also have other questions. I have not joined any clubs until recently where I joined our math club, science club and creative writing club for our online school. I do have a huge interest in math and science (especially science). I am taking ap human geography, environmental science and ap stats this year and I plan to take more APs next year. I have already finished AP bio and got a five in the test. I am not a strait A student and have gotten some bs but have an average unweighted GPA of 3.7 and weighted of 4.7. I have finished physics and I am finishing up precal this year as well. I know my school is not as good as others but I am hoping that my tennis can make up for it. What do you think my chances are? I do have a lot of other experiences and my largest mechanical experience would probably be fixing and repairing my 1990 celica. I love mechanics and science and especially learning how things work and why they work. Please give me your feed back! Thanks</p>
<p>Oh and all my classes are honors</p>
<p>You will not get into MIT through tennis. You will get into MIT because of your intelligence, passion, initiative, and kindness. Tennis is a bonus but no more than any other extracurricular activity you are committed to. You will not get a boost by being recruited by coaches.</p>
<p>Not straight As is more than okay. Your school also doesn’t matter; whether or not you take full advantage of the opportunities there and in your community matters much more.</p>
<p>No one can tell you your chances, but luckily we can easily tell you what you need to get into MIT: [The</a> Match Between You And MIT | MIT Admissions](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/match]The”>What we look for | MIT Admissions)</p>
<p>You seem to be pursuing things you are passionate about. That’s good. Keep doing that. It will be good to find some way to apply your passions to your community, to take some college courses when you’re tired of APs, and to use your abilities in some interesting way–building or inventing something awesome or doing research with a professor at a local university.</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
