I need advice, HS junior, advice [aiming for MIT, CS , MA resident, 4.5 GPA, 3.8 unweighted GPA]

I got a 3.8 UW and 4.3 W GPA freshman year and sophomore year, and I’m disappointed with my sophomore performance but I am on track for a 5.1 this year if I lock in on math.

I take all honors classes and AP Bio, and I will have a 4.0 UW this year. I’m taking Geometry now, then Algebra 2, and eventually Calculus BC. My school is a little odd with its math sequencing. I may take community college courses if my summer programs don’t work out. I’m applying to about 20 programs since they’re all super competitive. I work about 6 hours a week as a soccer ref. I also do JROTC and am the head captain of a robotics team that has 8 kids at nationals each year, which is solid for a sophomore. I’m a Boy Scout and will be an Eagle soon. Last year, I helped tutor a …
