<p>Upon insistence from my parents, I am applying to MIT. That, in addition to Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cornell, and Madison. I know I can get into Madison. As for CMU and Stanford and MIT most of all, I'm not so sure.</p>

<p>What I think will likely disqualify me from MIT and the other long shots are not my scores and numbers, but my lack of leadership role in any EC, lack of YOP courses (which I was going to take but dropped because of schedule conflicts), and lack of any independent research or innovation.</p>
<p>What do you think are my chances to MIT, CMU, and Stanford?</p>
