I am a high school junior planning to apply to MIT, Cambridge, and HYPS, among other schools, and hopefully to pursue a dual major in biochemistry/ molecular bio. My courseload this year (all IB school, all subjects except math taught at only HL) is:

IB Chemistry
IB Biology
IB Spanish
IB English
IB History
IB Spanish Culture/ next semester Theory of Knowledge
IB Physics
IB Math HL

I’m kinda into science, as you can see . I’m expecting my GPA to be (unweighted) around 3.98-4.00.

Standardized test scores:
PSAT: 238 (i know it doesnt matter, but i havent taken SAT yet)
ACT: 35 in eighth grade, expecting 36 this year
APs: Chemistry 5, EnvSci 5

Besides school science classes, I’ve also done research at a local university for the past 3 years and got a 1st place award at ISEF 2010.

my chances? feel free to ask any questions, I put more emphasis on the sciencey stuff…
