<p>Well, first off, as you already know, your test scores are low. Hopefully you didn’t submit that SAT. Your ACT is better, especially since your math score is a 35.
Besides that, your EC’s are very concentrated on science/ engineering/ math, which could be a negative.
I’d say MIT is a high reach right now. /:</p>
