<p>Yes, but the trouble is, you’d be competing for admission against people who aced trig and precalculus and geometry and AP calculus, and also aced the SAT. For a school like MIT, acing your high school math courses is necessary but not sufficient, as they say.</p>
<p>This is not to say that you’re worthless, or that there’s no right college for you, or that you’ll never amount to anything. But MIT is probably not within your reach right now. So some day, when you have amounted to something, you’ll be one of the millions upon millions of Americans who have amounted to something without going to MIT. </p>
<p>And, honestly, in these two posts you’ve shown that you have not only insight into who you are, but also enough strength of character that you can accept unwanted news without losing your poise. Those are valuable qualities that really will help you amount to something. </p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
