Hello, CC!
I am currently a Sophomore and I’d like to get a feeling of what more I should be doing in order to increase my chances of getting into MIT. A bit about myself:

Year of Graduation: 2015
GPA: ~4.1

SAT II: Biology (800) [I will be taking Math II come June and most likely Physics next year]

AP: Calculus BC (N/A, taking this week, results come back July), Comp Sci (same situation)

Fields of Interest (no implied knowledge or expertise): Mathematics, Cryptology, Computer Science, EE, Mechanical Engineering

Accolades: School scholar’s program, it entails working on a project of my choice with my mentor over the school year. My project falls in the fields of CS and Cryptography.

Extra-Curriculars: Teaching martial arts to kids ages 3-15 pro bono (4 times a week), Programming Club, Math Team, Math Newsletter, I play a bit of banjo

I would like to know what I could be doing to boost my chances of getting into MIT. All help is appreciated!
