<p>What a superb resume, congratulations. As you know, every university you’ve list is highly competitive – and thousands excellent applicants are denied annually – however, I suspect you have an unusually strong chance of admission to many of these superior national research institutions. I suggest you complement your outstanding record by writing compelling essays that this key question: what will you bring to your classmates, to the faculty, and to the institution that your competitive peers are unlikely to offer? </p>

<p>Amazing resume. I would be surprised if you did not get accepted to a majority of these universities.</p>

<p>Why retake the SAT when your score is already phenomenal? You might do worse! I don’t think you’re going to be penalized for being slightly less than perfect.</p>

<p>If you do take it again, good luck! Remember that some schools do not participate in score choice, so you will have to send both scores, even if you don’t improve.</p>

<p>You will be a strong candidate at all of these schools and I suspect that you will have some great choices come April. In fact, I suspect you’ll have some great choices before the end of December :)</p>

<p>I would say, like most would, that you have a high chance at getting into the majority. The issue (same one ive got) is that you are applying to so many colleges, that it may be hard to manage essay supplements to the point to where they are unique to the university, to circumvent this, im selecting one essay to write per weekend, tops and then having my advisor(s) look them over and help with the polishing. Off the bat its evident that you are giving back and you actually care to better yourself and make a positive contribution to society with the EC’s. The only variable you have (i think) to worry about is the essays, and well, the nature of the ivy league crapshoot admissions! Wish you the best!</p>

<p>Sadly, you have very little chance.</p>

<p>ha ha. Just kidding! </p>

<p>A perfect score, a strong athlete, national academic awards, musical skills…and from Alabama? Kid, start packing your bags…</p>

<p>I think you have a very high chance at all the schools you are applying to! </p>

<p>How do you have a 5.08 weighted? In my school, any honors or IB class counts as a 5.0 so therefore the highest possible weighted GPA you could attain, even with all honors classes, is a 5.0. Just curious, but I think you have a great chance at all schools and I would be very very surprised if you didnt get into MIT. Best of luck. </p>

<p>@onlythebest13 My school counts AP classes as 6.0, Honors as 5.0, and Regular as 4.0</p>
