chances?

<p>SAT I: 2350 (CR: 750, M: 800, W: 800).
SAT II: Math 1&2 800, Physics: 800, Chemistry: 750
ACT: math - 36, verbal - 32
GPA: 4.0 unweighted out of a maximum of 4.0. So i got all A's.
Rank: my school doesn't offer class ranks, but i know that i am 1st out of around 250.
AP classes course and grade in parentheses (Before senior year): Calculus BC (5), Physics Mechanics (5), Physics E&M (5), Chemistry (5), Biology (5), Computer Science A (5), Statistics (5), French (4), Macroeconomics (4). <-- This makes me a national AP scholar. </p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Assistant to coach of school mathcounts team
Red Cross Volunteer(2 years)
Volunteer at an old age home (2 years)
Math tutor at high school (3 years) </p>

<p>School Clubs:
Math club Treasurer (freshman year),
Math Club President (sophomore year),
Math club Vice President (junior year).
French Club member (sophomore year)
Treasurer (junior year).
School's Science Olympiad team (sophomore and junior year).
Computer Science club (junior year).
JV Tennis team (junior year)
School mathcounts team 2 years (this was in 7t-8th grade so i don't know if it matters). State qualifier both times. </p>

<p>Competitions:
I have placed in the top 3 in several statewide math competitions (1st 2X, 2nd 1X, 3rd 2X). I was on my state's american regional math league silver team (top 30 in the state for all grade levels) once, and on the american regional math league gold team (top 15 in state for all grade levels) 2X.
I also placed 1st in the nation in the geometry division on some math competition (i don't think it was very prestigious though).
I am also a 5 time AIME qualifier (grades 7-11), AMC 10 school winner (2X), and AMC 8 school winner (1X).
Intel Science Fair: 2nd place in division in region.
Physics Olympiad Quarterfinalist (sophomore year).
Physics Olympiad Semifinalist (junior year).</p>

<p>Letters of recommendation: my computer science teacher told me that he would love to write me a letter of recommendation even before I asked him. Also i am pretty sure that my french teacher and my physics teacher would write good letters of recommendation for me (there is no way for me to know though). Also I have 2 math teachers who (i am pretty sure) would write amazing letters about me.</p>

<p>I don't know if this helps: I have taken (or tested out of) 5 college classes at the university near my high school (1 freshman, 3 sophomore, and 1 graduate level course, got all A's). I skipped out of college calculus, i took multivariable calculus (summer after freshman year), i skipped out of linear algebra (sophomore year), took ordinary differential equations (summer after sophomore year), and introduction to complex analysis (graduate level course summer after junior year). </p>

<p>I am an indian male and my father was my first ancestor to attend college in the united states and he attended Princeton University (under grad) and MIT (grad) also my sister is now an undergrad at Princeton. <-- i am fairly certain this section is not useful/helpful.</p>

<p>so what are my chances of getting admission to MIT? questions and comments are welcome and thank you in advance!</p>

<p>All your numbers check out as being MIT material and your extra curriculars fit the school as well. However, there are many kids with very similar resumes that apply each year. The most important thing is that you differentiate yourself via your essays and make yourself standout as being an exemplary person for the institute beyond your numbers and awards. </p>

<p>Even with that, you’re clearly putting it all out there but you’re by no means guaranteed acceptance. Hell, MIT rejects 85-90% of the people who apply. It’s not easy, but if you’re interested you should give your application your all and make sure to do an interview. Having character traits that are stereotypically atypical for math nerds seem to help. During my interview, my interviewer was very happy with my charisma and how much I spoke (he told me this straight-up afterward).</p>
