Well that’s a bit of a pickle because I have dropped English at the end of Sophomore year. There’s no way for me to study it during my Junior (current) or Senior year, but surely this does not mean I cannot apply to MIT and get a place with evidence of pursuing communication-based activities and reading books etc.? Also having done well in my SAT Reasoning’s Writing and Reading sections, though considering the vast amount of flawless SAT applicants, perhaps this is not the best point in my favour…

Are you saying that simply to make an application to MIT, English has to be taken during the last two years of High School? Here in the UK, schools allow you to choose 4 subjects to take during these two years as a maximum. I’m actually doing a fifth outside of school, but, unlike the American High School system, you can’t just take as many types of classes as you want. I’ve taken core subjects like Maths, Further Maths, Biology and Chemistry. Why should English in senior high school be a compulsory requirement?
