The stats you posted look very respectable, and you definitely have a chance. However no one knows what that chance is. Not even the MIT admissions officer who frequents here, as he stated himself.

If you read through the “decision” threads each year on this MIT CC forum, you’ll see plenty of applicants with stronger academic profiles than you who did not get accepted. And you’ll also see many with weaker academic profiles who do get accepted.

If you want to go to MIT, do give it your all, and the best of luck to you. At the same time, make sure all your “Plan B” school applications are in top shape.
