<p>These chances don't really work Imo.</p>

<p>but you have a better shot than me probably. On the collegeboard website it shows what the average SAT score of admittied students is. You'll realize not everyone full metal 800s.</p>

<p>honestly I don't know... Some people say there's some magic formula, I think this site is even supposed to have some kind of chance calculator for Ivies + MIT Stanford Caltech etc...
But if you're really unable to finish an MIT app with your other college stuff how will you budget your time on MIT's super accelerated courses? Just spend time more efficiently, I dunno...</p>
