Question

I have an F in my AP English Language class right now and my teacher said he'll most likely to give me an F since the grades are due on December 14 and he said I'm finished, which means I failed. Same thing with AP Bio class. Do I still have the chance of getting into MIT? I really need help.

Answer 1

I attend a different college, but I assume if talking with your teacher didn't work then you should talk to your Dean. Sometimes they are able to help, good luck!

Answer 2

I actually did. But it was him who suggested me to talk to my teachers and they insult me like this. What I want to know is that, can I still get into MIT with these 2 F's?

Answer 3

How could we know? We're not admissions officers for MIT. Did you try looking at the MIT website? In two minutes I found a page that said "there's no magic formula" for getting into MIT.

With that said, other sites I read claim that most of those who get in have straight As throughout high school and score above 2200 on the SATs.

You might want to look at going to a college, and transferring to MIT after 2 years.

Answer 4

But really, if you can't handle high school courses, why would MIT expect you to handle theirs?

Answer 5

Anywho, it's not like MIT is the ONLY path you must take to your future dreams. Sometimes people take other alternatives and still end up fulfilling their dreams. Sometimes it might take a detour. So if anything, start working hard now to get your grades up in second semester. Attempt to apply to MIT no matter what--even if u feel if you personally won't get accepted. I believe there's a place in the application where you can explain some things about your grades (don't take this for sure though, i haven't applied to college yet either). You'll be amazed at some admission stories i hear. Since it's November now, try to get some things from an F to a D at least, heck, maybe a C if a miracle happens.
Just know that it won't be the end of the world for MIT and that it's too early to give up. If Plan A fails, there's still 25 more letters of the alphabet.

P.S. Your teacher suck. No teachers should be allowed to discourage their students in such a way. They should not simply say that you're going to fail, they should at least also talk about how you can improve for future work and what not.

Answer 6

Also, you have openstudy to help you :D

Answer 7

Lotus, thank you so much. You've made me even more determined than I was before.
