I want to know if i can get into institutions like MIT and stanford with my current achievements.?

Question

I plan to do computer engineering.
I am in grade 11 at a prestigious private school and have taken only the most demanding of subjects which the school has to offer(i am doing the ib diploma) Math hl, physics hl, chemistry hl, english sl A, spanish ab intio and economics sl. I am a very hard working person and only get excellent effort grades which are reflect by my usual 7's both in a term and in the final year exams in my hl subjects. The rest of my grades for my standards are 6(english) 7 economics and 6 spanish. I am thinking of joining some math competitions so that i can add a few awards to my cv and also would you recommend the MUN(model united nations)?As i am doing th ib diploma i have to complete atleast 150 hours in ec's which i have been doing so far. There are very few clubs in my school so i have no oppurtunity to head a club.
Though i have not taken computer science my score in Grade 10 was 95%(internal assessment went a biit awry).
Thank you

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you are outside the U.S., or if your school just has a lot of unusual terminology and grading standards, but unfortunately, most of what you say doesn't make much sense to most of us in the U.S. I don't know what ib or hb or sl or ec are, or what standards are, and grades are usually on a 4-point scale here. Your best bet would be to speak with a counselor at your school, or with a recent alumnus from your school who went to a university like the ones in which you are interested.

Answer 2

You need extra curriculur. You can having amazing grades, but that doesn't cut it anymore. Everyone applying to Ivy League and the top public schools has near perfect grades so it goes to your essays and your extra curriculur/leadership stuff.

Colleges are looking at well rounded individuals who will contribute to their campuses, not just sit in their rooms and study. You should really try and get leadership experience on your resume, if you can't do it through current clubs, create one at your school or reach out into the community, or work. Community service looks wonderful and is alot of fun to do.

You'll be competing with kids who were president of everything at their schools, perfect GPAs, really involved in their religion. So I recommend gettng more extra curriculur that is not academic related, ie math competitions, go for something you enjoy (htey like seeing that you have hobbies/passions/sports) or community service.

Also if you have any legacy, people in your fam who went there, that also helps alot for Ivy League.
