<p>You look great...work on that SAT! 700+ is competitive according to MIT so you're close.</p>

<p>Good GPA obviously, but I think you will need a higher SAT or ACT for MIT. Averages at MIT were 730/760 last year--so as a URM you will probably still need about 710/730=1440/1600 or around 2160+/2400. A lot depends on your essays, of course.</p>

<p>I think you're good for Georgia Tech, LSU and RPI, Rice is about 50-50 and as an out-of -state for Texas I think you're only around 40-60, but better than 50-50 if you get those scores up to 1400 from the current 1320.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S. LSU would have won the NCAA championship in track and field next year if Xavier Carter had stuck around, but now that he's going pro, I don't know how good LSU will be.</p>

<p>yeah but he deserved to go pro, the guy was a beast. saw him run a 45 400 and it looked like nothing. They have good depth though they'll be alright</p>

<p>try johns hopkins for biomedical engineering. according to us news and world report latest 2007 rankings, it is the #1 undergrad college.</p>
