you definitely shouldnt say 12th grade i WILL get an A both semester, i WILL get an 800 on Math II, and don’t expect everything to happen (740-770 on Math in SAT I). thats just the wrong attitude. i know you’re on a roll (good job dude) but keep it low when you do your application, MIT REALLY doesn’t care much for braggers. I agree with someone who said before that a teacher recommendation explaining your peculiar situation would help tremendously.
