<p>Sure, it sounds good. You're definitely qualified. It all depends how your application comes across to the committee. Your stats are good, but everyone's stats are good. Congrats on all of those acheivements, definitely apply, and see what happens :) </p>

<p>A 14% acceptance rate is a reach for anyone, but it's up tothe admission committee to decide if you will do well at MIT and enhance the culture. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Talk to the tennis coach. They have a very good Division III program here, so I don't know how hard it is to make the team. Sports can really help you get in because coaches can write recommendations for you.</p>

<p>Taking all your school's AP's is definitely very. Being from Kansas is good too. </p>

<p>I don't know if you think you can do it, but try to get your SATs (especially Math) up if you think it is possible.</p>
