<p>You have a reasonably good chance. (So MIT admissions seems to work on the principle that stats will bring you to consideration, and the rest will get your foot in the door.) Your stats are definitely qualifying, and you seem to have a good amount of extracurriculars that are valuable. Do you think you can get good recommendations? Have you looked at the essay questions, and do you think you'll be able to express your passion in them?</p>
