@momofasenior First of all you really did mean it too sound harsh. We where only allowed to take on AP science class all of high school and I chose to pursue a course that aligned with my interest in an AP setting. I’ve taken the highest level class possible every year, which includes 7 APs. If you look at admission statistics for MIT you would see that there where 67 admits in my math range, so don’t talks about it as if it is unheard of. Keep in mind that I won’t be submitting that science score anywhere else because no other schools require it. I already have 2 800s. While a 33 isn’t a perfect score, you probably do know that schools of this caliber, AKA Harvard consider it all the same after a 33. I don’t know if you’ve seen the court documents, but they clearly state that “2” in academics is a 33+, and a “1” is a 36 with major publications. 36s get grouped with 33s if that’s all they have. I don’t know why you say to wake up when I have a decent shot at many schools in this caliber. Your taking my score that I got while throwing my guts up and severely dehydrated and extrapolating that to represent sent my potential. I would like to someone to try and balance 45+ of hockey per week (all year round), and maintaining high grades in the most difficult course possible at school. Not very easy. I find it very disrespectful that you say that an Ivy caliber application and my effort over the past 5 years is useless, because you don’t think I being in upper echelon universities. You seem like one of those parents who truly believes that a 36 is the answer to the confusion of holistic admission. I’m sorry if I sound rude, but you really did attack me in that last post.
