[quartzmuffin628]

Please be as honest as possible. My feeling won’t be hurt
-3.83: Unweighted GPA (My school doesn’t use unweighted)
-4.55: Weighted GPA
-35: ACT (1 Attempt)
-800: Math II SAT
-780: World History SAT
-Very rigorous course load since freshman year (most rigorous classes offered at my school)
-4 AP’s by end of junior year
-Regional Science Fair Winner
-I’m on Honor Roll every year
-I should be in National Merit Semifinalist (222 score and I live in PA)
-Currently, I run a business club at my high school
-First chair in the orchestra. We play at community service events throughout the year
-Researching investment techniques and creating a project to teach to other highschoolers these techniques
-Heavily involved (18h a week) in varsity athletics; however, not at D1 level
-Expecting excellent teacher recommendations
-Go to school in western PA; (probably means nothing)
-My high school does not rank students

-Any thoughts? Feedback would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

Your stats are typical of the students who are accepted, but are also typical of the students who are not accepted.

Assuming that you don’t have a “hook”, I think that your chances are probably not much different than the 7.9% overall average.

Apply if you want. Definitely put significant effort into considering and applying to other schools.

MIT requires one math and one science subject test. World history does not meet the testing requirement.
