<p>awesome chance.</p>

8

<p>It really isn't statistically possible for you to have awesome chances, but you have a better chance than most applicants IMO. I think that they're reaches, but not reach+, they're realistic. You've got the stats so it comes down to how you present yoruself in the application.</p>

<p>You're ECs are good, but try to let them know what your 'passion' is.</p>

<p>I think that you have a great chance at MIT. One of my friends sister is a recent freshman and her stats are definately not as impressive as yours. Nice work.</p>
