Okay, so! I plan on getting accepted (not necessarily attend, for reasons I'll explain later) to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Stevens is my back up. =]
Now, *clears throat* here's my major and minor:
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Minor: Financing (Don't know which branch)
So, MIT's requirements are:
SAT Scoring/Testing:
Math: 730-800
Critical Reading: 670-770
Writing: 670-760
Need to take a Math exam and Physics/Chemistry exam (either)
Application:
Uniqueness and gifts/talents, excellent essay.
Ratio of Accepted Students:
1/7
So, yeah... Hard to figure out how I'm gonna get in. I guess I'll take extra help in improving my essay writing with my current English teacher and I'm glad they don't take in to account how their applicants do in a World Language. ^_^; I'm currently getting some 70-79 in Spanish. =[ But see, on top of that, I have to get a scholarship otherwise I won't be able to go because of financial problems. MIT probably charges big $$ because of their reputation. I've talked about it to my dad and told him the requirements and stuff, and he thought about sending me to take an SAT course or something. =\ I don't want him to do that though, because it's just more money we can't afford. Plus, I don't really know my great accomplishments or great talents right now... All I know is how to do basic repairs on a auto-mobile and on top of that I'm not even that awesome at it. Since I'm taking the road towards there, I guess I should just concentrate on mechanics. So, I've decided to make Stevens Tech my back up. =] Also, to get in, I guess I'll make my essay uber-awesome to stand out. ^_^ Ugh, I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
