Cheerleading Teacher Evaluation Forms: Fill & Download for Free

Assume that this is for undergraduate studies.Let me carefully offer my opinion on the matter (as an alumnus and interviewer) —On the one hand:Your main extracurricular(s) don’t need to be STEM-related, because MIT needs a variety of experiences and has need to run different student organizations and clubs. You could be talented in team sports, figure skating, dance, music, trivia/quiz bowl, cheerleading — anything. Diversity of interests and diversity of talents keeps life interesting. And MIT has a variety of organizations that need a diverse set of interests and talents.Sure, there are plenty of applicants who do more STEM-oriented extracurriculars like Science Bowl, Robotics, Science Olympiads (including the International kind), science fairs, STEM research, model rocket club, astronomy, etc.On the other hand:First, highly consider this is a STEM-oriented school. The mission of MIT is:“The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges. MIT is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind.”The above reflects a certain engineering ethos that MIT has: taking knowledge, STEM — and applying it to solve problems.Furthermore, MIT specifically requires a STEM teacher recommendation.I have mentioned several times that I don’t think AP Physics 1 or AP Physics 1+2 is sufficient preparation for MIT. You don’t need these for MIT — e.g., you can do non-AP Physics, Honors Physics, etc.Try to do as much STEM as possible in high school (all three specialized sciences if possible).Second, notice that the webpage What we look for | MIT Admissions says:Alignment with MIT’s missionRemember that there are many ways to make the world better—we’re not looking for applicants to have cured all infectious disease in the world by the time they’re 15. Tutoring a single kid in math changes the world. Lobbying a senator to amend bad policy changes the world. There are thousands of examples.Two points I can make:If you want to apply to some place that highly values STEM — “STEM is the lifeblood of MIT” so to speak — and has an engineering ethos, how would you demonstrate you have the same values?Yes, you will be evaluated against “What we look for” at every step of the admissions process.As an interviewer, I would scratch my head if you didn’t love STEM and weren’t passionate about some aspect of STEM.If you hate STEM or STEM Is just an afterthought, that kind of attitude is unfavorable to disadvantageous to completing coursework at MIT.

I’ll copy out from my suburb’s high school, but yes. Braintree is a middle class suburb, not even upper-middle class.SPORTS TEAMS:Teams and levels of participation offered for grades 9-12:Boys'Baseball; varsity, J.V., freshmanBasketball; varsity, J.V., freshmanCross Country: varsityFootball: varsity, J.V., freshmanGolf; varsity, J.V.Gymnastics; varsityIce Hockey; varsity, J.V.Indoor Track; varsityLacrosse; varsity, J.V.Outdoor Track; varsitySoccer; varsity, J.V. freshmanTennis; varsityVolleyball; varsity, J.V.Wrestling; varsity, J.V.Girls'Basketball; varsity, J.V., freshmanCheerleading; varsity, J.V.Cross Country; varsityDance Squad; varsity, J.V.Field Hockey; varsity, J.V., freshmanGolf; varsityGymnastics; varsityIce Hockey; varsityLacrosse; varsity, J.V.Indoor Track; varsityOutdoor Track; varsitySoccer; varsity, J.V. freshmanSoftball; varsity, J.V., freshmanSwimming; varsityTennis; varsityVolleyball; varsity, J.V.Club Offerings:Academic DecathlonThis national program is intended to provide a challenging academic experience to approximately twenty students from all four-grade levels.
