<p>I'm a junior. What are my chances? </p>
<p>May also take the ACT, probably would get a 35 based on what i’m hearing from other people’s scores. </p>
<p>Hard to give you chances if you don’t say what schools you are planning on applying to, but very impressive application!</p>
<p>is this too long? please chance me. to summarize, i’ll have a 3.98 gpa (2 classes without an A), make usajmo twice and usamo once, take 10ap’s and get like 9 5’s and a 4, around 2300 on the sat, 232 psat, volunteer for roughly 100 hours in a hospital, and do an internship at our local prestigious laser lab in addition to being successful in science olympiad and moderately successul in fbla, and sort of in model un. </p>
<p>You have just as good a chance as any other competitive MIT applicant. The only thing is, I don’t really see the humanity behind you; you’ll have to show that in your essays…</p>
<p>I say you have a really solid chance, if you are a URM then I would put down some money saying you would get in. </p>
<p>So do I have a better than 50% chance by your estimation?</p>
<p>Could you also chance for Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and UC berkely (non-resident)?</p>
<p>It would be hard to have over 50% chance for anyone to be admitted to MIT. You do have the stat and good EC that are required though. The same for Stanford.
For UCB, you should be a high match.</p>
<p>Grade wise you’re more than qualified, although its’s always a crapshoot with MIT, they really like to admit people who are scientific explorers and tinkerers. If you’ve designed an app, built a fusor, or done medical research your chances go way up. I think that they’d be super impressed with how good you are at math, taking 2 college maths in high school is very unusual! That being said you are a strong applicant.</p>
<p>am willing to chance back. also forgot to mention that I play violin (at a low level) and that I am an alternate for RSI (so there’s a minute chance i’m able to go). </p>
<p>Should I be able to get into Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>I only read as far as retaking bio and even thinking of doing it again. Do you want them to think that you have no sense? Or that you can think of nothing better to do? Don’t do that. I was too fed up to read further. Good thing I am not an adcom, they are forced to read the whole thing.</p>
<p>I might retake if I have nothing to do senior year. More of a pride thing that it was the only thing I didn’t get an 800 on.</p>
<p>And I didn’t make USAMO. Only got an 8 on aime II (194 index).</p>
<p>Good lord. I thought my application was killer, but your states just blow me away. I’d say youre in everywhere.</p>
<p>Super impressive if you do attain the projected scores. Make sure you put some personality in your essays to stand out but I think it’s a solid match for you</p>
<p>Do not pay heed to the people above who gave you unrealistic replies like “You will get in wherever you would like.” Nobody can decide that. You do have excellent statistics and extracurricular activities, but it is difficult to say that you have excellent chances and impossible to say you will get in certainly for such very-selective schools. Nonetheless, I would say you have good chances (as good as most applicants) of being admitted at MIT and Stanford. As for UCB, you seem to have excellent chances. </p>
<p>It’s a reach for you like everyone else… Just saying this but colleges don’t like it when students take EVERYTHING to improve their resume… It will give them a strong impression that you are doing all of these to quantify your resume. Just focus on few things…</p>
<p>MIT - Reach
My prediction - Rejected</p>
