<p>I am an international student and I will briefly mention my academic accomplishments:</p>

<p>GPA: 19.8 out of 20/ ranked 1 in a class of 60.</p>

<p>SAT: Math 780, CR 660, Writing 720
SAT II MathI: 800, MathII: 770, Physics: (in december, I expect 780)
TOEFL(iBt): 107/ 120 </p>

<p>And now comes my strongest part:
Bronze medal in International Mathematical Olympiad and in Balkan math olympiad. Gold and silver in national math Olympiads.</p>

<p>Participation in the Research Science Institute (held by MIT).</p>

<p>I am anxious of getting to know my chances.</p>

<p>your chances are great. I'd say you're in as long as you don't majorly screw up your essays or interview</p>

3

<p>That IMO award is very prestigious. </p>

<p>My roommate won last year and got in.
It shouldn't be your crutch or anything though, your essay should probably something not math related, since they obviously know that you are good in math.</p>

<p>Thank you for giving me good chances!!
My essay is about my (social & academic) experience in the Research Science Institute.</p>

5

<p>You say you got into the IMO and got a bronze medal...yet you only scored 780 on the SAT Math and 770 on the SAT II Math II. Troll much?</p>

6

<p>I can't understand exactly your point... What you said it's true about my scores. In SAT math I just lost 1 question (just a human error). Concerning SAT II I hadn't done any practice at all and that's why I didn't have time to complete all the questions. I will give that again, though, in December!</p>

7

<p>Stop pretending and go back to your troll den.</p>

8

<p>I cannot understand your attitude towards me. Why don't you believe me? Are my math scores so low?</p>

9

<p>let me say it is highly unlikely that you got a 770 in math 2 if you got a bronze in the IMO. maybe you should get that score checked, because i am a mediocre math student (i just began to learn calculus) and i didn't study either for the math 2 and got an 800. also, the "i was doing stuff too advanced" doesn't really hold up...math is a foundation. the sat I math is understandable because those are just a single silly error, but for the sat II you need to make MULTIPLE mistakes to lose an 800 (6 to 8).</p>

10

<p>um no thats not true</p>

<p>SATs dont always reflect on your abilities. practice tests and timing is really important! its really easy to miss a question because you ran out of time</p>

<p>rather, i would say TROLL if he had 800 800 800 and gold medals. this shows he is a human! if he was a troll, hed put perfect scores with his medals.</p>

<p>are you an effing idiot?</p>

<p>and to the OP, you have good chances, just try to play up your ECs.</p>

11

<p>One tip: take a Subject Test that is not math- or physics-related and score well on it. Harvard likes to see a breadth of interests and abilities, hence their new General Education requirements for undergrads.</p>

<p>to the OP what other EC'S did u list on the app?</p>
