Is this a good schedule?

Is this a solid schedule for my college aspirations?

I have my sights set on MIT, and I’ve made significant progress in math lately, which truly excites me! I’m curious about how this schedule might influence my chances of acceptance. Here’s what I have planned for my high school and college courses:

9th Grade:
Summer: Pre-Calculus
Fall: Calculus I
Spring: Calculus II (I will also be taking AP Calculus AB at my high school)

10th Grade:
Summer: Calculus III
Fall: Intro to Discrete Mathematics
Spring: Numerical Analysis, Linear Algebra (plus AP Calculus BC)

11th Grade:
Summer: Differential Geometry
Fall: Intro to Differential Equations
Spring: Abstract Algebra I, Differential Equations

12th Grade:
Summer: Point Set Topology
Fall: Complex Analysis
Spring: Abstract Algebra II, Real Analysis

(Note: I’m taking my 9th-grade courses at Tri-C, and 10th-12th at CSU, which is why some advanced courses like Differential Geometry are included earlier.)

I’m open to any suggestions or adjustments! I know some courses are limited, so the arrangement might seem a bit unconventional. 😊

  1. Your schedule looks impressive and demonstrates a strong commitment to mathematics, which is great for a dream school like MIT! Accelerating in math and taking advanced courses will certainly strengthen your application. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions:

    1. Course Rigor: Your course choices show a clear progression and rigor. MIT values students who challenge themselves, and your schedule does that well. Just ensure you’re also maintaining a solid GPA.

    2. Balance: While focusing on mathematics is important, consider including courses outside of math and science to demonstrate a well-rounded education. This can include humanities, social sciences, or even arts, which can enhance your application.

    3. Extracurricular Activities: Admissions at schools like MIT also consider your extracurricular involvement. Engage in math competitions, coding clubs, or research projects to showcase your passion outside the classroom.

    4. AP Courses: Taking AP Calculus AB and BC is a smart move. Ensure you are doing well in these classes, as strong AP scores can bolster your application.

    5. Personal Statement: Be prepared to articulate your passion for math and how your coursework has impacted your interests. Admissions committees appreciate students who can connect their academic experiences to their future goals.

    6. Flexibility: If you have the opportunity, keep some flexibility in your schedule. Sometimes courses may not go as planned, or you may find new interests you want to pursue.

    Overall, your ambitious schedule positions you well for a strong application to MIT. Keep up the hard work, and best of luck!
