<p>Rice - close reach
Cornell - close reach
MIT - high reach
Stanford - high reach
Berkley - reach
Georgia Tech reach
CalTech - reach</p>

<p>You have good stats, and ecs that demonstrate your passion for math and science. Just make sure your recommendations are strong and make sure you express your passions through your essays.</p>

<p>Your status is similar to a friend of mine who recently got into MIT (he went to MITES, so he had a good chance…). So I am going to say MIT is a close reach.</p>

<p>For Rice/COrnell/Berkley/GT - I believe you are going to get accepted. Your ECs are quite solid and so are your test scores and GPA.</p>

<p>Stanford - I am not sure.</p>

<p>It would be helpful to note that MITES is for minority students, so your friend is a URM and is looked at differently than the overall pool.</p>

<p>I also won the MATHCOUNTS championship in 2006.</p>

<p>And, what are my options for getting into Brown University?</p>

<p>Raise your SATI or try the ACT for the top colleges. I’d also add some schools, having half B’s junior year is going to hurt at highly selective schools.</p>

<p>Was that a national championship?</p>

<p>The MATHCOUNTS was regional.</p>

<p>Our robotics team (with me in it) won 1st place in regional and
19th place national.</p>
