<p>MIT, CIT, Stanford are all very good possibilities, You should get into 1 if not all of them.</p>

3

<p>I think you have a good chance at each and every one.</p>

<p>Although your Critical Reading score is below a 700, it's actually within the range that MIT and Stanford are looking for. Caltech has higher standards than both of the two, but I'd say it's just as difficult to get into Caltech as it is to get into MIT or Stanford.</p>

<p>You also have good extracurriculars and good SAT II scores that can compensate for that low-ish score, so I wouldn't worry. ;]</p>

4

<p>You have a whole year to raise the SAT score or try the ACT to make yourself a strong candidate. Search the Xiggi SAT prep method on this site and give it a try. Caltech and MIT have surprisingly high CR medians.</p>

5

<p>UW GPA kinda low for some of them, CR should def try and get in 700's for great chance. I think you could def. get in now, but your essays need to be ridiculous. Don't get your hopes up, they many a kid with great stats. It's arbitrary, hope for the best.</p>

<p>What is your race?</p>

<p>If you're white or asian, I'd have to call Stanford a reach looking at the Stanford ED slaughter.</p>

<p>My race is Asian/Indian, does that help?</p>

<p>CHANCE ME: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/632856-my-chances-so-far-junior.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/632856-my-chances-so-far-junior.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>^^^ Please don't post like that again. It makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Although I did realize it's probably because you had caps lock on.</p>

<p>To OP: Those good math-related ECs will help your chances at those schools, and having taken Calc BC by your junior year is fantastic. If you can get a 700+ CR score you will definitely see one of those schools in your future.</p>

<p>^ Your ethnicity will probably hurt you if anything. You have to stand out from the rest of the Indian/Chinese/Korean/Japanese applicants with similar math/science achievements to catch the eyes of the admissions officers.</p>
