<p>He has a low chance, especially considering he’s an international applicant. Most internationals accepted to math/science-heavy schools like MIT have at least some sort of national or even international recognition (i.e. Intel, AIME, etc).</p>

3

<p>I’ve heard that before. But arent his grades and ECs good enough???.</p>

4

<p>Buuuuummmmmmppppp</p>

5

<p>In short, no.</p>

<p>International applications at MIT are super-competitive. Without high-level proof of mathematical/scientific ability (awards), it’s going to be tough, especially with a relatively low GPA (by MIT standards).</p>

<p>The 800 Math II will help though.</p>

6

<p>hmmm… how bout seeds of peace??? I know colleges love that.</p>

7

<p>Bumppppppp</p>

<p>He has a long shot.
Look at it this way.</p>

<p>a 3.8 UWGPA isn’t that spectacular.
His EC’s are pretty average (I have a two national awards/recognitions yet I still worry about a rejection letter)</p>

<p>The only thing that will help is the fact that he isn’t applying for FA.</p>

9

<p>I’d say it’s at about .5 percent. He’s not that great.</p>

10

<p>MIT is need blind school for international students,so basically the fact that he doesnt need FA doesnt matter much.If he applies to Brown or Cornell,however,he will have pretty decent chance ;]</p>

11

<p>Hes applying to 23 schools:D:D:D… Cornell is on his list, Brown isnt. Hes also applying to places like Harvard, Dartmouth, Columbia, Duke, Penn, Carnegie Mellon etc etc etc etc etc.</p>

<p>I think MIT and ivies are unlikely…maybe Cornell.</p>
