>>14000966I had 5s on all 9 Advanced Placement Exams I took, 800/790/780 SAT II scores for Biology/Chemistry/Math 2, 2300 SAT score total on the old three section version. Your test scores need to be at that level to have a chance. I self studied using library books because I was dirt broke as a high schooler
I also applied to and participated in a summer research program at MIT for high schoolers, after getting a flyer in the mail and applying randomly lol
The more qualitative parts, like the essay, talk about overcoming struggles, they love eating that shit up. If you can work science in, even better but not necessary. In the interview you can really geek out, tell them about every little project and piece of code you've done and convince them you're "MIT material"
