I second VMT’s comment. When I applied, a “B” average in the most rigorous available curriculum and at least a 1250 out of 1600 on the SAT was typically the very minimum to be admitted at WPI (most students at WPI performed better than this and some a lot better); if your high school is not as strong, then you may need to do even better to be admitted. WPI also appears to have become more selective over the past 5 years, as is reflected in their admission rates and admitted student statistics.

Since you are a senior, community college is an option if you really want to get into WPI. If you can develop the discipline to study and earn a 3.5+ at a community college in a science program, then your high school record and SAT will not be considered as much you may be able to transfer to WPI.
