Also I need your advices, with such resume should I study foundation or 12th grade in the U.S.(we have 11years system)?And will it increase my chances? Also I'm good at writing and I hope i will write decent essays.</p>
<p>You are not crazy, but the chance is not high (so as most of the schools on your list). It is fine to apply to all these schools even the chance is rather slim, but you definitely need to add several match schools and a couple safety.</p>
<p>Disagree. A lot will depend on perceptions of the rigor of your school/course selection, but if strong Purdue would be a safety and Penn a match.</p>
<p>I think you already know the answer to this question, and you just posted it because you want people to confirm that you’re an exceptional high school student…</p>
<p>Answer: You have a chance at MIT, yes, and the rest of your schools as well. Will you definitely get in? Absolutely not. Nothing is certain about being admitted into those schools. It’s awesome to have reach schools, but you must understand that, even though you are undoubtedly an awesome student, you will need some safeties and matches. Try finding some with acceptance rates of 20%-40%.</p>
<p>Askar96, your chances also depend on which country you currently reside. If you are from Pakistan, India, or China, you stand almost no chance, regardless of your academic credentials. International acceptance rates are around 3% for these schools. The acceptance rates for the aforementioned countries is probably around 1%. </p>
<p>Also, as an international student, you should have more national-level posts.</p>
<p>No, you are not crazy to apply to MIT, however, you would be smart to find a few other safety/match schools that you really like.
Please chance me if you have a moment!</p>
<p>Askar96, that’s great! The acceptance rates for countries like yours should be slightly higher than 3%.</p>
<p>By national-level posts I meant that you should try to get national awards, best internships, academic research at research university, etc. You are clearly one of the best students at your school, but you need ensure that you stand out from the rest of the international applicants, some of whom have their own corporations, research papers, etc.</p>
<p>MIT restricts the number of seats to about 100+ for internationals. However, they are well distributed so most countries do have a shot at at least one seat.</p>
<p>It will come down to your competition within your country. Anyone can apply but everyone can’t get in.</p>
