Sorry if the title was a little vague, character limits. The question at hand is this; If you were to accelerate an object to near speed of light, time around it would speed up, thus forward time travel. We all know this and I am no expert in this area but am incredibly curious. (Assuming we can...

You make a good point. Although I wouldn't call it completely random. If you achieved great things in High School, that's a heads up to the school that you will probably go on to do great things in the future. Schools love money. If they see that you can achieve incredible things they will take...

Yes, It is random, random if you decide to be well-rounded, But if you offer something to the school then you have a much better chance. I will do what interests me which is coding. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, this was what I was talking about. I have to shine through with my coding abilities.

I'm originally from England, but I am an Australian citizen. But I don't see what country of origin has to do with being well-rounded, please elaborate :)

Thanks for replying, don't worry I will still keep A standards is every class and there is good value in a well rounded person, but that could be anybody... anybody could be well-rounded. That's not what these colleges look for, they look for people who have achieved in the past so they can...

No, as I said before, it doesn't have to be Harvard or MIT, more or less any top school, like Stanford of UC-Berkeley.

Ok, I've come to a conclusion, I must refrain from being 'well-rounded' And stand out in a particular subject. For me that is coding. Coding is my ticket, next year I'll enter competitions, I have a friend whom is much less ambitious than me and does not intend to do any of the things I want to...

By far my favourite subject is ICT/Coding but I also love Astronomy and the wonders of Space, me and my 7 year old sister watch Secureteam 10 whenever he uploads. She is fascinated by Extraterrestrials, I am too except whatever he uploads is BS, but she seems to enjoy it. There are very few...

I know what you're saying, and thanks for telling me, although I found that the British system was a little easier than the Australian, but with that said, I was only there for Primary School so It may be equivalent. It's not so much front facing manipulation more than it is subliminal...

Thanks man, Merry Christmas :) Also, at the minute I'm reading this and it's pretty interesting. http://blog.prepscholar.com/how-to-get-into-harvard-and-the-ivy-league-by-a-harvard-alum It guarantees that if I take its advice on board I'll get into Harvard which is completely ridiculous, but it...

At the minute I'm very pumped to go back and give it everything I've got, my point is, If I get A's and B's without caring or studying at all then if I did my grades would increase to straight A's, next Year I'm joining the Coding team and hopefully going to get the ball rolling for myself...

Your advice is taken on board, I've also heard much about not be a well rounded student, be exceptional and achieve great things in one or two specific subjects, for me that will be coding as I have already published mods for games and have made small games myself, that I haven't published.

If this helps getting into MIT, I have straight A+'s in ICT and Coding. Apparently if I took the 10th Grade test I'd probably get an A/A- so I'm pretty good at that. I also study Quantum Mechanicals because I believe the more we study it, the more it may help us as the potential for using the...

Caltech was more of an example for the Title, I wouldn't mind getting into any Ivy League College.
