<p>Boooooooooom bump</p>
<p>You have defintely shown exceptional interest and talent in the sciences whi h is critical for your target schools. Yove put in the work on your profile now knockout your esssays and I’m willing you’ll get into atleast one if not both. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739793-quick-brown-2014-chances-need-advice-over-whether-bother-ed-not.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739793-quick-brown-2014-chances-need-advice-over-whether-bother-ed-not.html</a></p>
<p>I’m not particularly familiar with MIT or Caltech, but I feel like they both love applicants who have personal awards/recognition in science (well of course). Your team awards are great and help you, but I would expect someone of your caliber to have won individual competitions for a specific science field. Also, you seem to have interest in economics…is it science or econ for you? Because with those econ stats, you look like you would be a great applicant for Wharton. I only won two econ competitions (and they were both in the same business program) and had worse stats than you and somehow managed to get into Wharton.</p>
<p>But in conclusion, I think that there’s a 60-70 percent chance to get into one of them. If you could win one or two more credible individual science awards or publish something in a science journal or discover/do individual research in a particular scientific field, you would be in much, much better shape.</p>
<p>You have great ecs and everything else is solid. I think with them, your sats are probably fine for caltech, but your chances would definitely benefit if you took them again (which you are, so great!).</p>
<p>Caltech- 79% (90% with better SATs)
MIT- 50% (70 % with better SATs)</p>

<p>i love percentage based evaluations.
Anyway, you have good chances for both schools. MIT will like you coz you are well rounded, Caltech may not as much because of the lack of IMO IPhO gold medals (i m playing the stereotype because thats all you can really abide by, as the rest are all very random decisions).
If you write your application well, you have a good chance. Although, i dont agree with any of the percentages because that just doesnt make any sense.</p>
<p>You have a great chance. CalTech and MIT are reach schools for basically everybody, but you definitely have a much better shot than their overall acceptance rate.
Individual research might help.
Out of curiousity, what’s the 3rd school you’re applying to EA? is it chicago?<br>
I wouldn’t worry too much about the SAT I scores. math is high enough for these schools.
Do they consider gender? that might play a role.
best of luck!</p>
<p><em>whistle</em> It’s guys like you that make me reconsider my college list lol</p>
<p>I’d say you’d have great chances at CalTech and MIT EA, though I hear MIT EA acceptance percentage is about the same as RD, but I don’t think that matters for you.<br>
The fact that you’ve got several placings/awards at various competitions makes you stand out really well, and your scores aren’t bad as well.
So I’d say match/high match for both of those schools, although out of curiosity, are you applying Sloan or SEAS at MIT? Cause it seems you have a strong interest in economics as well as engineering.</p>
<p>chance back?

<p>Not really sure. most likely SEAS, but maybe Sloan. I heard you can double major at MIT?</p>
<p>I think youre in at caltech, i think youre better than the average applicant. As for MIT, i thing youre about a 50/50 there. Youll get into one though. ?</p>

<p>Great testing scores (although it could be improved, for safety measures), Awesome GPA, ECs, Leadership, Awards. You definitely have one of the best chances for admission into MIT or Cal-Tech. Should be a low reach for both, but we’ll see :)</p>

<p>No, no, no, no, no. Do NOT retake the SATs. Your scores are more than fine. I know MIT pretty much tosses writing out the window and I suspect CalTech does the same. You have a 1540, leave it be. MIT has said that they use the SAT to make sure you’re competant, once you crack a 700, it doesn’t affect your chances that much. Looking over CalTech’s stats, it seems like you’d be right in the middle of the accepted pool. Frankly, SAT scores don’t mean that much. The scores are high for these schools because the accepted students are smart, they weren’t accepted because they tested well.</p>
<p>Wow amazing stuff, really amaizng.
Great chance at both schools. And by great chance I mean as good a chance as somebody could possibly have without being a billionaire. Also, check out Harvey Mudd and Olin. but I think you will get into either Caltech or Mit.

<p>…</p>
<p>From a recent college visit/tour/campus preview, it seems like students applying to Cal Tech have 800s on one or more SATs and/or SAT 11s, so try and bring up your score if you can. </p>
<p>But you have steller ECs, awards and grades. Cal Tech seems to want to see a heavy load of AP and advanced classes both junior and senior years. </p>
<p>Looks like you are on your way to success! The campus is really pretty. Good luck.</p>
<p>Lol, pretty sure you dont need anymore replies to this, Mr. Djokovic =P</p>
<p>I ALWAYS welcome more replies ;)</p>
<p>I would say the only thing you are lacking is a perfect SAT score. it seems like those schools more than any others rely on crazy high SATs. you being an ORM obviously will hurt your chances, but I would think you would at least get into one. best of luck to you, your application looks great! btw, where else are you applying? chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736144-chance-upcoming-senior-my-school-picks.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736144-chance-upcoming-senior-my-school-picks.html</a></p>
<p>I am applying RD to HYP, Cornell, maybe Columbia and Dartmouth, Carnegie mellon, UC berkeley, UCLA ,UCSB, UPenn (Wharton maybe)</p>
<p>K so I have been checking out the MIT actual results thread… and the people accepted were very mixed. Some perfect scorers get rejected while others were accepted. I guess overall the student body is very exceptional, but to just look at a chance thread, it is very difficult indeed to approximate someone’s chances, especially for MIT…</p>
<p>I guess I will have to wait and pray. ^_^</p>
