Are my ECs not good enough?

@ObitoSigma Do I seem academically qualified for MIT? I don’t want my academics to be the reason why I am rejected by MIT. I know I’ve heard MIT Admissions say that the average MIT admit takes 5-6 APs. I’d rather not take more, though. I also don’t want a low SAT score to weigh me down. Thus, I plan on taking 7 APs (in addition to 3 college level courses & 3 years of science research) by the end of senior year as well as getting 800s on Math 2 & Physics & a 1500 on the SAT (800 Math & 700+ CR+W). However, I (ofc) don’t need perfect test scores.

Does MIT require or look at the SAT Essay?
