Alea,

Could it be that you’ve not had good teachers in chemistry? My son dislikes both biology and chemistry (and loves math and physics) and has very little experience with CS but he’s hoping to learn to tolerate them in college by having excellent professors and classmates that can energize him.

He visited MIT recently through a special program and loved his time there. For him, it was the people that nailed it for him.

Would it hurt you to apply? Do you have the $60 for the app fee? Apply and then visit if accepted.
