will college see my achivement?

Applying to College
1

<p>ok, so i want to apply to mit. im a junior, my sat score is 800 for math, 740 reading, 690 writing, subject sats, bio 720, physics 800, and 800 on both maths. i havent taken any physics class(because of special cirriculam in my school) my gpa isnt very good, however, i ve taken really advanced math classes(diff eq 1, real analysis 1, vector geometry, linear algebra(credit by examination), will be taking more math in senior year as well, i have As on all of them except on 1 where i have a b)</p>

<p>also, i am researching on thermodynamics topics, for which i may get rechognition(by this i mean i will be competing in science fair)(maybe not the first prize, but maybe semifinalist or isef finalist) but this is in my senior year.</p>

<p>i am currently a senior, for the past year ive been working like crazy for the physics olympiad, i will make the semi-finals for sure, but i might actually make the finals. </p>

<p>but, all this (my research, and physics olympiad) will happen after i submit my application, however, they are very important credential, in my opinion. so, my question, is will mit(or other college) see that ive done these by any chance even though they happened after i submit my application.</p>

<p>After you submit your app, you can submit updates of special achievements. However, to lessen the pressure you seem intent on placing yourself a year from now, the key is advance planning.</p>

<p>First and foremost, find out what you can afford and then develop a broad list of target colleges from there. At this point, saying “I’m applying to MIT” with no other context is like your scrawny 8 year old cousin saying to you: “I’m going to play in the NBA.”</p>

<p>It’s great to have a goal, even a lofty one. But you’ve got to ensure enough real options exist in your path to college. Good luck.</p>
