Your ACT & GPA are good for any of these schools. Your ECs are decent but pretty standard. I’m not sure how good of a fit MIT would be, considering you want to go into business & your SAT 2 scores don’t show MIT-level strength in hard sciences/math. (Not like the SAT II’s would be a reason for rejection, but combined with what you want to pursue, it’s just something to keep in mind. You do not declare majors on the MIT app, to my knowledge.)

I’d say:
UPenn: Waitlist (more likely rejection, imo, though not certain)
Georgetown: Waitlist (could go either way)
North Carolina: Accept
MIT: Reject

Best of luck! :slight_smile: Chance me back? http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1966406-chance-me-upenn-ed-yale-brown-princeton-etc-will-chance-back-p1.html

@writergirl0316 MIT has an undergraduate business program.

@bwaits61 You are within the feasible range for admission at places like MIT and Penn, but you don’t have anything that helps you really stand out, and there are many stand-out applicants to this kind of places. So it could really go either way, these are reaches for anyone.

I think you have a good chance for Gtown and very good chance for NC.
