<p>A lot of people are being very harsh to you. While I do agree with them that your GPA and SAT scores are low, that doesn’t make it impossible. I’m sure you realize your chances are low, especially since you’re an international applicant. But remember, there’s always the option of transferring (if you get into Waterloo, you can take some science and math courses, if you get high grades on those, then you’ll have more for MIT to look at). MIT is so exclusive, as is Harvard. Colleges like a good backstory and all, but when it comes down to it, academia is always the most important. </p>
<p>I hate to make you upset-I really do-I just don’t want you to get your hopes up. In the end, you’ll still get a college education, I’d really suggest going to where you get in, then waiting a semester or two to see if you like it. If so, then stay, if not (and I know this is somewhat redundant) transfer.</p>
<p>Good luck with school and the like!</p>
