<p>I had a different kind of application then the average run of the mill applicant . Was wondering if some people can comment and give a perspective. Already posted in the MIT forum: </p>

<p>I think I agree with what the people on the MIT page said, which is that yeah it’ll be hard but not impossible. Your EC’s are amazing, but I think the first thing colleges focus on is the test scores/gpa, so that they can narrow it a down a bit, and 1860 SAT is a bit low, especially if you are an international. On the other hand, if they don’t deny you for your SAT scores, I’m sure they’ll except you. On the plus side, MIT is one of the schools that care the most about research and awards in my opinion, so that is to your benefit.</p>

<p>I don’t even know what IIO is. I think IOI is the actual international competition in informatics.</p>
