For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, the minimum load for a full-time student is 12 credits (usually four courses). The average load is 15 credits (five course). Some students take 18 or 19 credits (six courses). This is an approximation because some courses can be four or five credits. Still, if it is the students first time in college, I always recommend a student takes the minimum full-time credit load for the first semester. After the student makes the adjustment into higher education, understands what is expected, the study involved (based on the intensity of the program), assimilation into peer groups, etc., then they can build up from there the next semester. It is better the start slow, and build up, rather than to overload ones self and wind up of either stopping out, or failing out. I can tell you this, the programs at MIT are going to be intensive, and you should be cautious and give yourself every advantage to succeed. Start slower (if the program allows), and build up from there.

Most competitive colleges, like the Ivy League universities or Stanford, MIT, etc. like to see at least 5 - 6 AP courses on a high school trascript.Most high schoolers take AP courses in their junior and senior year...so around 3 to 4 AP classes per year is ideal, if you are considering applying to those schools.I'm not too sure on the community service hours...some schools *require* 80 hours. 80+ hours will be fine.
