Chance me for MIT?

Hey guys! I already applied to MIT, but I just wanted to know what others thought of my stats so I have a better idea of whether or not I’ll get in.

Chem: 710

APs
Gov and pol: 3
CS: 4
BC: 5
Physics C mech: 3
Lang: 3
Chem: 3
US histort: 3

Dual enrolled linear algebra, multivar, and discrete math for CS

Rank: 18/293
GPA: 3.95

Extracurriculars:
FTC robotics
Band
Golf team
Math team
Science Olympiad
Works at fast food restaurant

What do you guys think?

Just curious, how did you get a 5 on BC exam and are taking really advanced math courses but have a 690 on Math 2? Can you retake it?

Might have to get those SAT scores up a little for MIT.

@AznDude525 I’m pretty good at math, I just didn’t do well on math 2 despite studying. I did pre-calc like 3 years ago so I was really out of it. It’s January so a bit too late to submit SAT scores lol

The average SAT score at MIT is 1520. Sure, you can get it with a lower score if you have any EC that makes you stand out, but its quite unlikely. Your math SAT score is 80 points away from their average (780). Your GPA is quite good (I’m assuming its unweighted). Whats your weighted GPA though? Thats really important in this case.

Your AP scores kinda drag you down (Im talking about the 3s), but you have a good school rank. You also have really good EC’s, which might boost your chances of getting in. However, its gonna be really hard if you don’t even meet their average (25th percentile) statistics.

What about your personal background?

@thelesswebecome Female African American, and I’ve been doing STEM activities, mostly in computer science, at school and during the summer since elementary school.

The fact that you’ve been doing it since elementary school will definitely make you stand out!

For MIT engineering, I think your math scores have to be pretty high. Getting a 700 on math section of SAT and 690 on Math subject test might be acceptable for some schools, but MIT (aka one of the best engineering schools)… it would be a pretty high reach. ur extracurriculars are also kind of bland… I know a lot of MIT admits AND rejects who published papers into national academic journals or won Siemens or placed in Math Olympiad (basically state/national recognition) then again, idk your essays and you as a person, so of course, its unpredictable and theres always a chance! Chance me back? :slight_smile:

I think you definitely have a chance at MIT. Don’t give up hope, but make sure you apply to plenty of other schools as well!
