<p>"Done my SATs and 2s got 1600 on the 1 and 790 on 2c, 800 on writing and 780 on chem and phys."
You're nuts! If your SAT scores are low, then I should go throw myself in a well. Do you actually realize that only 7 people in 10.000 get a perfect SAT. And not all those seven get an 800 Writing, not to talk about the other tests!</p>
<p>Huh? well, ok. You got a point, but getting 800 doesn't mean getting all the questions right!</p>
<p>I think you are too much of a perfectionist - we are pretty much alike from this point of view - but I try hard to dominate my obsessions - like 740(mine) is a low Writing score and the "if only I had 20 more points on the SAT to get 1600" thing.
I don't think any sane adcom expects you to answer perfectly on all your tests, so relax.</p>

<p>buzz: huh? what? whaaa?
you... you... you are <em>such</em> a freak... i... i... i... mean that...</p>
<p><em>goes and seeks meaning of life in a bottle of brandy and...</em></p>
<p>Ok guys here's the truth: a friend and i read about someone who has 800 everywhere. And wanted to go to stanford since 6 and is super kid. Me my score on sat 1 is 1330, 690 in maths and the rest in verbal. Sats 2s had to retake cos did absolute bad. Also, my school system varies form the us one so i can forget about the chem and phys, we havent done 3/4 of em. No more time left to learn.
I'm still applying to mit, my transcripts are fair and my letters dunno. My essays well they're gonna say exactly how i feel about studying aero engineering, and i hate to brag but thats pretty strong. So since it's my no1 school (and Buzz Aldrin went there) I'd really want to go there.
Also, you know guys, i really feel that i can do it... but its not up to me, its up to the admissions people. Chances look really slim, maybe something for the recycle bin. :(</p>
<p>sorry bogororo, maybe we're not te same after all. Except we're both aliens and of eastern european origin. :)</p>
<p>so anyway friend and i wanted to make a lil joke. But i speak 3 languages, 4 by the end of the year. :)</p>
<p>You caught me with that. And to think I said I speak ONLY 5 languages!</p>
<p>At the risk of sounding ridiculous: What are my chances for MIT?</p>
<p>lol pavalon
buzz how low is low? i know some people on CC consider 1550 to be low</p>
<p>But relax , you have good stats anyway and a fine chance of getting in, or so I think.</p>
<p>the admission process is far beyond us mortal humans' grasp lol. The whole thing is so weird that everyone has a chance. And relax buzz, your stats are not stellar, but they're not bad either</p>
<p>i have a cambridge interview on friday! i'm flying their tomorrow. i'm not too nervous because cambridge isn't my first choice</p>
<p>Thanks guys! Aw! Well, had my CAmbridge interview on Tuesday. Was ok, they sure ask complicated questions, or so it seems to those who haven't done it. Good luck axfr. Just smile:)
Well low in sat1 is 1330 and i'm waiting for my next sat2 scores. Hope they will be better. What did u apply for axfr? And where you flyin in from?</p>
<p>flying there from Strasbourg, France. Applied for SPS (social and political sciences). Yep it was tough!!! I was pretty lucky because my first interviewer was french lol!
we hit it off pretty well i think.
anyway we'll know in Jan. which college did you apply to? I applied to Pembroke</p>
<p>Well I was assigned to new hall. A women's college. :(</p>
<p>one of the women only? that sucks :(</p>
