<p>Your chances look good. Your SAT seems kinda low based on how you did on the PSAT… but everything else you have is fine.
Just keep in mind that no one (not teenagers anyway) really know for sure whether or not someone is gonna get in.</p>

3

<p>mediocre chances I would say. 720Math… eh…</p>

4

<p>Id say u have a 50 50 chance because ur grades and sat are lacking but ur ec are solid</p>

5

<p>My gpa is 3.77 but I am validictorian so that would be a big strength right?</p>

6

<p>Frankly, I’d be shocked if you got in. Your EC’s are good, but everyone else is going to have that + a perfect GPA and SAT.</p>

<p>Also, wrong forum.</p>

<p>MIT admissions is a crapshoot. Don’t listen to people that tell you that you shouldn’t apply, and don’t listen to anybody who tells you that you have a good chance. </p>

<p>That said, you can improve your case by:</p>

<p>1) Not sending them the SAT
2) Stay Valedictorian
3) Focus on your internships and any research in your essays</p>

<p>I’d say you have as good of a chance as anybody, just apply and see what happens.</p>

<p>To know about other schools to apply to, you’ll need to let us know where you’re from, where you want to go (geographically) to college, how much your parents can pay, and what you want to major in.</p>

<p>your sat’s are sub-par. ACT is decent enough. so dont send the SAT score. other than that id say you have a decent chance, assuming fantastic essays and recommendations.</p>
