<p>I think with your SAT scores and all those APs and awards, you have a really great shot at getting into your schools of choice. The rigor of your schedule is exactly what those colleges are looking for… Good luck!!</p>

<p>Chance me back please!</p>

<p>Very very solid applicant, your stats are amazing, good job! extremely likely to be accepted to all the schools you mentioned. Good luck.

<p>You have very competitive stats and have a decent shot at all of those schools (MIT is a higher reach if you only have a 750 math). Keep in mind that the admissions process is random, though. </p>

<p>By the way, you have to take what the interviewer said with a grain of salt. A friend of mine got a personal letter of commendation from the dean of MIT and still did not get in. But, as I said, you still have a pretty decent chance. </p>

<p>Please chance me back!

<p>Bumppppp!!!</p>

<p>What’s your class rank/percentile? This is a crucial aspect of your application but you didn’t mention what it was. It seems odd that you would have a 4.0 weighted GPA with all those AP classes and a fairly decent UW GPA. Is there some unique form of weighting that your school uses?</p>

<p>To even be looked at, you need to be in the top 10%. To have a decent shot, it’s best to be in the top 5%. To have really good chances, you would probably need to be in the top 1-2%. These are rough statistics, but go ahead and include your rank/percentile for more ‘accurate’ chances</p>

<p>my school doesn’t rank but I am certain I am in top 10% most likely in top 3% but there is no official ranking</p>
