<p>MITMathAlum-
Thanks!! That was really insightful. Could you tell me more about what schools you applied to (I’m trying to figure this out but I’m not quite sure where to start)? Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what do you think got you into MIT? Any competitions or other extracurriculars, or maybe your essays?
I understand your point of view from a maturity perspective. Personally, I think I’m socially and intellectually mature enough, and I’ve talked to my parents about it and they think it’s a great idea too. It’s just that my senior year schedule would be mostly college classes plus HS history and English (I will not have maxed out those departments). I could technically take an independent study class, too, but why waste another year in high school independently studying something that I could simply independently study by myself without being in school? I just feel like I have very limited options left, and I think it’d be more worth it to go straight to college.
Thanks so much for your post!! I was beginning to think there were not many MIT junior admits, plus it was very helpful. :)</p>
