MIT: reach</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

3

<p>You need to bring up those SAT scores for MIT and hopkins</p>

<p>bump , how much of an effect does the USAPHO and AIME count for this? I was hoping these would show my talent for engineering maybe</p>

<p>Ok I think you have a good shot at Johns Hopkins and Carnegie. MIT is a reach for mostly everyone.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are a bit low, but subject tests are very good. Your AP exams are impressive and I’m jealous of the classes your school has to offer.
Your GPA is a bit on the lower side for MIT.</p>

<p>But your ECs are good for MIT: lots of math comp, robotics, etc. Fits your love for engineering.
This may be false, but I heard MIT is a “nerd” school which means it takes academics super seriously as well as ECs in academic competitions.
Overall, you have great ECs, good subject tests
SAT and GPA may hurt a bit</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>MIT is a reach for everyone.</p>

<p>You have decent chances at CMU and JHU (unless you wanna do comp sci at CMU and bio majors at JHU, then they will become reaches)</p>

<p>Shine with your essays. Impress others with your intangibles. You have a shot at these schools, so go for it.</p>

<p>Good luck!

<p>MIT: reach
CMU/JHU: as bbff1234 said, your chances depend on what you want to major in. But they’re probably high match/low reaches. Your essays will definitely be the deciding factor.</p>

<p>MIT: reach, CMU and JHU are high reaches. Work on the essays as best you can!

<p>MIT is reach, CMU and JHU are reaches for few reasons other than your scores on the ACT/SAT I. Great ECs.</p>

<p>Thanks for the Chances guys, I’m applying to the institute of tech for carnegie btw</p>

11

<p>I think if you got USAPhO Finalist (which means yo uwent to the physics camp),
then you have a great chance at CMU and John Hopkins.
MIT not so much because of your SAT.</p>
