<p>Hard to say... They accepted 6 out of 302 last year. I am applying too... Which school are you transferring from?</p>

<p>Worst case you’ll use your 6 years of kung fu to threaten the adcoms
Seriously although you seem to have a very good record and would get into a lot of colleges, MIT doesn’t accept a lot of transfer applicants and I bet those 6 were extremely exceptional and had amazing hooks. I hope you get in but wouldn't count on it.</p>

<p>I was hopeful like you once but everyone told me that I have no chance despite my national math prizes etc... Now I just tell myself that my GPA will probably higher if I transfer to another top school and in the long run I'd be better off (grad school).

<p>It actually says 7 there but on the collegeboard website it said 6...
Why dont you try caltech? I am not going to have time for it... Maybe I should reconsider... It's a nice place to do physics.</p>
