Nah, it's fine. I'll be glad to help out. Just send me a PM with a person to write up, and I'll send you a sample to see if my writing is up to speed.
You're a sophmore too? *high fives* Yeah, MIT is my dream school too. I'm in Science Olympiad and Choir, so I'm hoping those will help. Maybe also mention the fact I'm a year younger than most applicants? I skipped a grade in middle school after moving to Indiana from Illinois, so I'm only 14 (15 in a week or so :D), but I'm doing above average in school. I'm hoping that I get lucky and get a scholarship or award via S.O, just being in it should help. I have a couple fallback schools if it doesn't work out, but I really hope it does. For IB, I'm taking Language HL, History of the Americas HL, Chemistry HL, Theory of Knowledge, Spanish SL, Physics SL, and Mathematics SL or HL. (depending if I take Pre-Calc over the summer or not.) Plus, I'm staying in our advanced Concert Choir throughout. I don't know what talents to further, though. :/ I'm trying to take up a couple instruments, maybe that'll help? And who knows? Maybe we'll both get lucky and meet each other at MIT instead.
Maybe I should take to Newton about how (she, I think?) got in, might shed some light on the application process. And I hope Crazy Linoone gets in too; anyone who gets that far deserves to make it in.
All the IB courses, plus Theory of Knowledge. I've basically taken the honors version of every class I've had since freshman year. We offer IB and honors Bio, Language, History, Chem, Physics, Music theory, Art, Theartre, Math, And German/Spanish.
I know exactly how you feel; that exact cycle happens to happen to me often when I get big projects. I've been a bit better about it this year. But the internet doesn't help at all. Music does, to some extent.
It was in astronomy, an event based on objects in space, stellar evolution, math involving distance, temperature, luminosity, etc; and a touch of astrophysics to taste. It's surprising how notorious the event is for being hard; we won with a score of 48/83. I did correctly identify all of the objects they gave us, though. I also recieved a fourth in forestry. (a tree identification/knowledge event.)
