Do i have a chance(even the slightest)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My university list:
1.MIT
2. Stanford
3. Purdue
4. urbana champaign
I am currently doing the ib diplomaand have taken one of the most demanding courses in a very prestigious and one of the best schools in my country.
Easily in the top 3 in my class. Highest scorer in the examinations with a respectable 38/42, can be easily improved. (maximum 7)
Math hl(higher level) - 7(top 3)(equivalent i think to 95% or 4.25 on GPA)
Physics hl - 7(top 3)
Chem hl - 7(top in class)
Economics sl(standard level) - 7(top in class)
English sl A - 6
Spanish ab intio - 6
Additionally we have to write a 4000 word essay called the extended essay which is basically a research essay which is at a similar level to those that are to be done at the college level. Also, i have a very keen interest in computer science and plan to take up computer engineering, i got a 95% in grade 10 in one of the most demanding(difficult) of courses available. I have learnt the java program on my own and also know a little abou c++.
I have yet to take the SAT, my practice scores suggest a 2200-2350.
My eca's:
part of a business and economics publication
participated in the Habitat for humanity campaign by living in a cardboard box for 17 hours
did time at the Riding for the Disabled
was a part of the chess club at grade 10
regularly play badminton and tennis, part of the school team in badminton
wanna join model united nations(will it be very helpful?).
part of the Radio control club which builds aeroplanes and radio controlled cars</p>

<p>As you can see i have not been too nerdy and at the same time not been too complacent. I think what sets me apart is the fact that i do not learn "as is" but instead like to question whatever i learn. I have proved the physics and math teacher wrong on several occasions and have corrected the chemistry teacher on a few.
So do you think i have a chance?</p>

<p>Well, being an international student could potentially help you if you're from a country which sends fewer students to college in the US. Regardless, you have very nice stats thus far. For chancing purposes, I'm going to assume that you get a 2250 on the SAT (to keep things on the conservative side). If you score higher than that (say, 2300 and up) your chances will definitely go up... particularly for MIT and Stanford. Ratings on a scale of: high reach, reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety.</p>

<p>1.MIT... REACH.
2. Stanford... REACH.
3. Purdue... SAFETY.
4. urbana champaign... LIKELY. </p>

<p>Also, I personally would recommend doing Model UN. I don't know how much it helps in college admissions, but it's a lot of fun and was an excellent experience for me during my four years of high school :-).</p>
