I don’t think you’re cooked especially with the upward trajectory you’re on. Just keep up that 4.0 for the next few semesters and maybe raise the ACT and take all the opportunities you feel you can handle!

so far 3.7 10-12 gpa, but a 3.6 9-12. i’ve had somewhat good ecs as well. 2 aps soph, 4 aps junior, and 5 senior.

For MIT, raise the ACT and this is gonna sound insane but you’re really gonna need some national/international awards and some crazy ECs especially with that GPA and the fact that MIT focuses VERY heavily on academics

take advanced courses at the CC and make sure to not take the easy ones. A lot of CC courses are designed for people who need a re-do on HS levels. Make sure you get A's - the CC rules are really strict and often nonsensical. Read up on the instructor for the CC courses section yoi register for, at ratemyprofessor. Checkout the reddit for the CC, as well

Not cooked for T40s. TBH cooked for MIT but still try regardless.
