<p>You forgot to list your SAT subject test scores. Those are required at almost every single college you listed.</p>

<p>oops, forgot about the SAT subject tests,
Physics - 780
Math 2 - 780</p>

<p>P.s.
I plan on taking SAT I in january as well</p>

<p>What’s your sex?</p>

5

<p>male. why would that matter?</p>

6

<p>Well, it matters quite a lot, since if you were a girl with those awards and everything for PHYSICS, you would get into MIT. on the other hand, for a boy applying to such selective schools, it’s a different story. I hope you do better on the SAT next time you take it (the scores get your foot in the door) and good luck!
