<p>What are my chances with these stats FROM CANADA:</p>
<p>Sat reading, writing, math - 740 740 750
Sat Physics I -790
Sat Physics II -780
GPA - 3.85
AP Courses (all self studied): Physics B - 5 Physics C E&M - 4 Physics C M- 4 Calculus Ab -5 BC- 4 Psych -5 Chem - 5, World History - 5</p>
<p>Activities: Chess club, Archery, Community Center Volunteering, School Science Club, School Trivia Team, Robotics Team</p>
<p>Ethnicity- Saudi Arabian, Lived in Canada All My Life
Gender - Male</p>
<p>So what do you think my chances are? Does my being Saudi increase my chances?</p>
<p>There’s two SAT Physics tests…?</p>
<p>Edit: Are you a US citizen? If not, you are an international applicant, which drastically reduces your chances.</p>
<p>Overall, the 4s on AP exams is not great. Most admitted students who take APs scores 5s, especially on Calc BC (where about 50% of test takers get 5s) and Physics C (where about 1/3 of test takers get 5s). It is impressive that you self-studied however.</p>
<p>Your test scores are fine, but you need an SAT II in Math.</p>
<p>Your GPA is a little on the low side.</p>
<p>None of this will keep you out, but it also won’t give you much of an edge. Good luck, though!</p>
<p>Oh sorry, SAT physics ii should actually read mathematics 2</p>
<p>my bad</p>
<p>and also, this is my unweighted GPA, my weighted is 4.65</p>
<p>In that case your GPA is fine. You are a qualified MIT applicant. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean you will be admitted – it doesn’t even mean you’re likely to be admitted. You have a chance of admission, but I strongly recommend applying to other US schools if you want to go to school in the US because MIT is so incredibly competitive for internationals.</p>
<p>I got in from Canada with worse stats than you.</p>
<p>So best of luck. 
If you don’t get in, it just means this specific school wasn’t your fit. It also means that you shouldn’t be too upset, because there’s somewhere else that will be a better place for you to study.</p>
<p>I think archery is something most most people don’t do, so that may help set you apart depending on how involved you are in the activity. However I’m no expert(high school student myself). Best of luck!</p>
<p>I’m also from Canada. For some time, I’ve been wondering about the differences between a GPA calculated in the States and one that is from Canada. I’ve looked into several places and they each tell me different things. UTSG tells me that admission is dependent on my 12th grade’s top 6 (an English and five other courses that are relevant to my application) meanwhile, places like UPenn only told me about its heavy focus on academic merit. I haven’t spoken to any of them beyond university fairs that are held occasionally. </p>
