Chances at MIT/Caltech?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>so I'm a senior, and here are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT I: 660 (CR), 780 (M), 680 (W) (only taken once)
SAT II: Taking Math II and Chem in October
APs: Calc BC (5,5), Chem (1), Comp Sci A (4), Psych (4), Stats (4), Euro (3), Latin Lit (1), Lang(3)
Senior Courseload:
AP Music Theory
AP Latin Vergil
AP Literature
AP Physics
Honors Government/Econ
Calc 3/Differential Equations (Dual Enrollment at FSU)
ECs: Played violin since I was 5
Mu Alpha Theta school president, State Technology coordinator, and also National president; 1st place once in 10th grade, 1st place in computer programming at state competition
Junior Classical League school Technology Coordinator, and state technology coordinator
Temple Youth Group - VP, help with some community service there
4th place in UCF computer competition - 11th grade
National Honors Society
Latin National Honors Society
National Merit Commended Scholar (201 on PSAT)</p>

<p>So....any idea about my chances? I think Mu Alpha Theta National President will carry me, hopefully. I do a lot of programming stuff, so hopefully that will help at technical schools like these.</p>

<p>I am also applying to Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Tufts, Stanford, WashU, UC Berkeley, GaTech...</p>

<p>by experience thrgh looking at others:
MIT - very high reach
Caltech - high reach
Brown - reach
Carnegie Mellon - match
Cornell - slight reach
Tufts - slight reach
Stanford - uber-reach
Washington Univeristy in St. Louis - slight reach
UC Berkeley - slight reach
Georgia Tech - high safety</p>

<p>Thanks! I forgot to mention my GPA which is 3.89/4 UW 4.6ish/5 W. I'm about 10/550 in my class. Oh yeah, also, I'm a white male at a public school.</p>

<p>mit looks at your essay a lot. tthey look for passion and creativity, so I think you should convey some passion for something you've done a long time, like violin.</p>

<p>Stanford looks like an über reach but hey! who knows what's gonna happen. UC Berkeley I can't really judge. are you instate? is your 4.6 gpa UC GPA?</p>

<p>Schools like MIT and Caltech that are so science-based might look down on a 1 on AP Chemistry. But either way, they're still reaches for anyone.</p>

<p>Thanks! I'm actually from Florida (see dual enrollment at FSU). Uhh, I don't know what UC GPA means, but I'm pretty sure that's a GPA including all of my classes.</p>
