And to be honest, I thought you are going pretty slow in math. Most of the people at my school takes Calc by junior year.
Yeah I realize that... I swapped schools a few times between 6/7/8 grade and it turns out my mom signed me up for the math course that was easiest... I took the same course (whatever comes before pre-algebra) twice. I guess she thought she was doing me a favor, but she attended community college for less than a year before dropping out so I can't really blame her

MIT is all about taking risks. You can't be afraid of the workload, it IS a part of the challenge. Heck, MIT is going to a lot harder than your average AP classes, so better learn to be not afraid of it.
That's the reason I've decided to take on summer courses and APs next year, I've gotten over it. The past two years have been a testament to myself that I can achieve much more than I've been taking on.

Any clubs? leaderships? awards? etc?
Well I'm a part of this club, but rule #1 is that I'm not supposed to talk about it... and rule #2 is that I'm not supposed to talk about it... and rule #3 is that I'm not supposed to talk about it (sorry, I couldn't resist a Fight Club joke). But in all seriousness, that's one of my biggest concerns... I haven't been a member of any school organized club, I'm not a part of the yearbook committee or anything like that, and my school doesn't really have any awards system (other than valedictorian) that I know about.

Although I've never been a member of a 'club', I've always wanted to work on a team that actually made some kind of progress or created something unique/new. Perhaps I should start my own club next year... not sure what I'd base it around but I don't see how it could hurt :P
