<p>Why don't you come back when at least some of your "predicted" stats become reality? there's not much here besides two years worth of grades. half of everything else is predictions.</p>

3

<p>Why don't you just chance me on what I've given, so I can see if I like the odds, or if I should work a bit harder? Too much to ask maybe...?</p>

4

<p>you should work as hard as you can.... no matter what....</p>

<p>and don't bother with chances.... they don't mean or do anything.</p>

<p>Well....judging just by your name, I'd say about 12%
If you add to it your grades and EC's, I'd drop it to 7%
And, if you add your attitude to all that, I'd call it at ~2%</p>

<p>geez, why fight? Why not give some advise instead of fighting? This guy has come to post something, and it's our duty to help.</p>

<p>No matter what you tell us, your odds are not high, because MIT is a crap shoot for everyone.</p>

<p>You seem to be doing the right stuff so far, so keep on doing it.</p>
