Are my ECs not good enough?

@theChinaman Yeah I hope not taking APES senior year won’t hurt me. Ironically, I don’t find the info in the class as information as getting my hands dirty and performing lab experimentation to learn first-hand about the environment & how to protect it.

I will be working very hard to get 760-800 on my SAT Math, Math 2, & Physics exams (while getting at least 700 on SAT English). I will also be working very hard to get a 5 on the Calc BC, Physics 1, & Lang AP Exams.

Consequently, do I seem like an academically qualified applicant who would make a direct impact on campus with my research in environmental engineering & my commitment to varsity running? This is how I want to sell myself to MIT.

I also know MIT looks at your personal traits, but my calc teacher, debate teacher, track coach, and research mentor all tell me I treat others with respect, and I always look to help others so they can benefit.
