<p>Well you have a decent shot at any of those schools… If anything, not enough math/science EC’s for MIT/Caltech.</p>

3

<p>The math does make you questionable for MIT/Caltech. However, the rest look good to me. Get the SAT a little higher, and you look golden. Check mine out please</p>

<p>You’re fine everywhere except MIT. For MIT, you’ll need some sort of INSANE math or science related EC/hook–everyone does.</p>

5

<p>Obviously don’t worry about the SAT anymore, I don’t know what Vinc is talking about. I’d say you have a good shot and that you’ll get accepted somewhere nice, don’t worry.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies :)</p>

<p>Bumpity bump</p>

<p>Ignore Vinc, your SAT score is astounding and I commend you for getting it! As for a possible area of criticism, like many have mentioned, your EC’s could be perhaps a little stronger. All in all MIT and Caltech and Stanford are your biggest reaches.</p>
