Advice needed for 3rd world country student starting out in Grade 11 trying to get into T20 aka best engineering colleges.
Hi! I'm a student from a 3rd world country currently starting out my high school (Grade 11).
I've been interested in joining MIT for my undergrad since my childhood. The quality of education hasn't really been the best in my country so I've decided to apply to a few colleges abroad in the future.
For context in my country the education system is a tad bit different. Here, Grade 11 and 12 are called "+2" (as in 10 + 2 ).
I got into the best college( high school for Grade 11 and 12) in my country. So, there are 2 options in Grade 11, we can study Physics, Chemistry, Math, Bio, English and my native language or swap the Bio for Computer Science. I wanted advice on whether to choose Bio or CS. I believe that I am a relatively well-performing student given my circumstances. I got a 3.96/4.00 GPA, was the student council president in Grade 8 and was a prefect the preceding years.
So, I want advice on what I can do to maximize my chances of getting into MIT. I also regularly take part in ECA such as essay competitions ,debates, quizzes and took part in Silverzone Olympiad. I want to do community service as a club in my college offers and the opportunity. I also want to start preparing for the Physics Olympiad selections in my country as I have interest in Physics too. I am also interested in creating different innovative projects and am open to suggestions on what I should do to maximize my chances. I am also well versed in Sports, I have a hobby for running. I also plan to do tech-related research and build an app for 3rd world country students like me to take part in different research and find opportunities.
So I would humbly request all the respected people to bestow me any advice that might prove to be fruitful to me.
Thank You!
