Spanish: 320 (i had never learned spanish until i tried to teach myself the language the night before...not bad though)</p>

<p>Extra-Curiculars</p>

<p>Relaxation Club: Member 1 hour per week</p>

<p>my essays....
i am going to talk about how I have been inspired by the time I spent sleeping during relaxtion club meetings</p>

<p>my teacher recs should be excellent..... my PE teacher and ceramics teacher both love me ( i got a B+ in PE even)</p>

<p>i know there are a lot of qualified applicants, but what are my chances, specifically MIT?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

2

<p>Very high chances. Take a shot.</p>

3

<p>MIT-Match
Harvard-Safety
Princeton-Safety
Yale-Safety</p>

<p>Try some better schools, like Stanford. These are below your caliber.</p>

4

<p>Oh my god! Are you guys ****ing joking me?</p>

<p>Matches all across the board.</p>

5

<p>thanks for the fun post!</p>

6

<p>my counselor said that "hell would freeze over before I got into MIT", but you guys have given me such confidence....i emailed her and told her that she is fired.</p>

7

<p>Finally, some one who can lighten the mood on CC.</p>

8

<p>omg are you fuxking serious....your in without a doubt</p>

<p>keep up the good work..</p>

9

<p>lol. you guys are jerks lol.</p>

10

<p>Jerk? We are just being frank. :D</p>

11

<p>I don't know if your writing score is good enough for Harvard, but the math score definitely makes MIT a safety. You are one of very few people who could honestly consider MIT as a safety, and probably get some good merit scholarships.</p>

12

<p>mastert tang, could you elaborate on the merit scholarships??</p>

<p>I would kind of feel guilty taking money from other high school seniors who have probably worked as hard as me, but just aren't as bright</p>

13

<p>Everything is possible, let your passion shine in your essays. You have to be able to distinguish yourself from everyone.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

14

<p>Lol. I'm jealous.
I say in at all.</p>

15

<p>Well, I know that in general MIT gives out almost no merit money, but they have one scholarship for the person with the most internationally recognized exrtracurriculars. I have never heard of a more challenging or original club than the Relaxation Club, and the way you tied it into your essays is ingenious. The average person is intimidated by MIT students; MIT students will all be in awe of you.</p>

16

<p>^ missed it</p>

17

<p>oracle, why do u even have to ask us? stop trying to show off and boost ur confidence</p>

18

<p>well actually pk123...i was actually being modest....if i really wanted to show off i would have told you that Drexel University sent me an email saying that they were a good college</p>
