<p>What do you guys think?
(Could you guys maybe give me a 1-10 chance? 1 being no chance, 10 being most likely in)</p>

2

<p>You are certainly a valid candidate. Have you had your interview yet?</p>

3

<p>Yes I have. It went pretty well. He seemed very interested in my research and involvement in a rock band.</p>

4

<p>4 - I'd say from all that about a 30% chance.</p>

5

<p>anyone else??</p>

6

<p>SATII Update
Writing 800
Physics 750</p>

<p>does that change my chances?</p>

<p>streetlight: "forgot to do last 10 questions"</p>

<p>!!!! ME TOO!!!! UUUUUGH. i would have gotten at least 750 if i had answered them all, instead i got 710......... UUUUUUUUUGH sorry just had to vent.</p>

<p>Your writing score increase will help. Glad that your interview went well, that should do you some good too - especially that it wasn't all math/science/academic grind. I would tend to agree with Anthony's assessment - better than overall chances, but not 50/50.</p>

9

<p>i have no idea how u manage not to answer the last ten...but the new increased writing score will help...yea and like 80% of the MIT people have like the same stats as you do so its tough getting in, but i'd say you have a legit shot</p>

10

<p>ha, I had taken old practice tests where the test ended with the passage questions. little did I know that on the ones I took, there were ten sentence questions after it.</p>

11

<p>30%??
I'd say higher</p>
