I love calculus and music and I am planning on majoring in Biological Engineering. My high school isn’t very well known for their academics, nobody has gone to MIT in many, many years. However, MIT is a dream school that I’ve always wanted to go to!

You have a slim shot my friend. Your SAT scores are not high enough. Start looking for more reasonable choices.

3

Have you considered taking the ACT ? You may get a stronger score than on your SAT.

4

I’ve taken the ACT once and it wasn’t any different.

5

What would you consider “more reasonable choices”?

6

I agree with the above posters; your SAT CR and W are too low. Did you prepare much?

7

I’ve always spent my time working on other things in school and not as much reading those SAT books.

8

work on the SAT. You’d have a chance with a good SAT.

9

You really really need to get that SAT score up if you want to have a good shot at MIT.

Maybe it is time to start read SAT books? You will vastly improve your chances with a score above 2000
