Hello,
Can you give me a guesstimate at whether or not I’ll get into either Caltech or MIT.
Anyways here the details in the standard-ish format.
Diversity (or lack thereof)-
White/male/from the Northeast/go to a private school
SAT’s-
SAT 1540 (770 in both) and 6’s across the board for the essay
SAT Math 2- 790
SAT Chem- 760
EC’s-
Started a computer club at my school
On the board of the engineering club at my school
Participate in the Olympic Dev. Program for an extremely obscure sport (about as obscure as something like curling or horseback riding)
Started a small tech startup (that is admittedly in the product development phase so we haven’t made some small fortune or anything)
One 1st with a team of 6 at a small international STEM competition (but, in fairness, this was a very small competition so its not like winning the Siemens or anything)
Community Service- 20-40 hours
Recs.-
I’m not too sure about my recs. My english teacher didn’t like me at first, but I made a lot of progress in her class over the course of a year so I think she liked me by the end. My science teacher said she always writes nice recs and I asked her some questions outside of class 9 too so I think she’ll give me a good one. Also my counselor loves me so I think he gave me a good assessment, and I also got my friend’s dad (who is kinda like my mentor) to write one that I think will be good too.
Any input is appreciated, even if you want to tell me that I’ll never get in (honesty is the best policy after all).
Thanks mates
