Kicked out of honors and want to go to elite college.

@TheAverageNerd, you are not listening. It is not about “redeeming” yourself. It is not about how many AP classes you take. Go read this advice from MIT admissions (the post is old, but the concept is still so relevant that it is on their home page):
https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/applying_sideways/

Here’s the main take-away:

don’t do things because you think they will help you get into MIT (or Harvard, or CalTech, or anywhere). Instead, you should study hard, be nice, and pursue your passion, because then you will have spent high school doing all the rights things, and, as a complete side effect, you’ll be cast in the best light possible for competitive college admissions.

Which is basically @DadTwoGirls point: play the next game, not the next season.
