<p>For MIT, who is huge on the whole mathematics/engineering gig, your SAT scores (at least for math) have to be increased a bit for MIT standards.</p>
<p>Your volunteering/community service is good, as it’s +300 hours. Your rowing gig is good too, and make sure that the MIT guys see you row your best! 
Your lab research at UCSD doesn’t hurt as well, and mountaineering is pretty unique.
However, I think you lack some leadership positions on your resume, and although I see your “nominated for leadership convention” part, I’m not really quite sure what you mean. So, try and think hard about your activities, and try and findan activity that you were a leader in. Colleges love leadership, and they prefer a leader to a member.</p>
<p>So for MIT, I would dsy to work on the stats and EC’s a little, and you’ll have a chance. After all, you’ve shown interest in their school, which is a plus anywhere. :)</p>
<p>UPENN-- somewhat of a reach
Johns Hopkins(possibly BME)-- need more extracurriculars to show you want to go into BME
Boston U-- definitely have a chance
UC berkeley— in reach
UCSD-- definite in
carnegie mellon-- in reach
williams-- somewhat in reach
amherst-- somewhat in reach (this is the best LAC ever, apparently haha. I knew someone who turned down Yale for Amherst!)</p>
<p>In conclusion, if it’s not too late, go out and do stuff related to what you want to do in college! And last of all, write a fabulous essay. These are the things that really get someone in. :)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>ps. Chance me too? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/749162-chance-rice-emory.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/749162-chance-rice-emory.html</a></p>
