Well, I definitely wouldn’t say that “MIT doesn’t really focus on your English classes” - it’s true that their math/science requirements are more numerous and more specific, but you also have to complete a ridiculously complicated humanities requirement. MIT gives you a lot of freedom with your humanities, but they’re still important.

The biggest advice I would give you would be to not base these decisions on MIT. Take the classes you want to take - if you hate English, don’t take AP English. If you love math, take the extra math class. A good MIT candidate will gravitate anyways to difficult classes with challenging course loads.
