<p>I'm a senior applying for MIT, RIT, RPI, UCLA, UCB. Applying for physics, computer engineering, civil engineering, or game design.</p>
<p>SAT I results: 560 CR, 740 M, 620 W (1300, 1920) [don't ask my why I don't know why]
SAT II results: 800 Physics 800 Maths II</p>

</ul>
<p>Top 1-10% of my year I think (60 people, we don't rank)</p>
<p>Has good recommendations, and grades. Anything else I need to add?</p>
<p>What’s your GPA, rigor of course, and any APs?
If you wanna make MIT, your SAT I score definitely need to be higher. A sub 600 score just doesn’t cut it.
Berkeley is also a low reach.
Rest are matches.</p>
<p>While you do not have the highest SAT scores, MIT is unpredictable. If you read on their admissions blogs, they have admitted students with 1800-ish SATs. You certainly have the SAT IIs. You have interesting ECs too.
Based on what I know</p>
<p>MIT - reach (but it is for everyone)
RIT - in
RPI - match (but be careful, they are getting increasingly competitive. They rejected plenty of qualified applicants from my school last year)
UCLA - match
UCB - reach</p>
