<p>Oh and your recommendation sounds awesome. If a teacher at your school said that you are “literally the most genius kid he met in his career,” I would be surprised if you didn’t get into MIT.</p>
<p>Let me rephrase my chances..</p>
<p>MIT - IN (90%+ chance)
Stanford - IN (slightly less chance than at MIT, but still good nonetheless)</p>
<p>And I suggest you apply to Cal Tech. Its academics (also science and math oriented) are in par with MIT (I’m sure you already know this). </p>
<p>Your gpa is not at all weak. UW gpa of 3.97 means that you probably got only 1 B in your entire high school career. You are possibly one of the most qualified international applicant for college admissions this fall.</p>
