I am mostly looking for advice and chances of me actually making in into my goal of hopefully getting into MIT. I know its a long shot and I am making sure that I will be going to transfer somewhere just my hope that it will be MIT.

High School: I was bored in High School being that my classes I found too easy and not challenging and ended up just not doing the work. I even went from only having missed one total day of school from k-8th grade to missing a day every 2 weeks or less. I don't remember now what my GPA was in high school but i doubt it could be higher then a 3.0 and more likely was less. Even that withstanding I still did receive an all tournament award for basketball and offensive player of the year. I also received a scholarship award for earned scores in: the top five percent of public school students in their grade level, or the top ten percent of students in their grade level at their public, junior high or comprehensive high school on standardized tests.

It has been almost 10 years since then and I currently am attending a community college. I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I am taking honors classes for almost every science/computer class I take(I am a computer science major). I will end up graduating with almost double the amount of honors credits as is required to graduate from the honors department.

E.C.'s that will be completed by the time I transfer

MIT is a long shot for every applicant. You'll never get in if you don't apply. Try to demonstrate your maturity and academic growth; these will be positives.
