I skipped a lot of years in math and in Spanish. Was only freshman to take single AP at my school let alone 3 in one year. Took Stats and CSA as a freshman which are senior courses, precal which is junior, and spanish for sophomores. This year taking only 4 APs and 2 Advanced (self studying physics 1 and 2 as well). Calc BC as sophomore, also Bio, Gov, CSP. Spanish IV is for juniors but am taking as sophomore.

Dream is to get into this school right now but I have no idea if I am up to par please let me know brutally honestly. I guess assume that reccomendations and essays go smoothly.

No one can really chance you, but you seem like a great candidate. You are definitely on/(above?) par with your grades, test scores and activities, plus being bi/trilingual. We know students who have gotten in without the lab and research experience that you have.

Work hard on your essays and application, and hopefully, you will have the results you are hoping for. The admission rate is a bit about 30% and you have a lot to work with. Make sure to circle back and update us on the results.

Are you currently a resident of Massachusetts?

You seem to have done a lot in Connecticut.

I have established residency in MA haha.

Thanks mate, definitely will circle back! This is my first time on this website and it seems that the community is very mature and honest (compared to reddit…)!
