<p>+Good recommendations from calc teacher and science research advisor.</p>

<p>It looks like you have a very competitive application. Very good stats, good ec’s and research too. You have as good of a shot as any other applicant I’ve seen on this forum. However (as you know), it is very difficult to predict who will be accepted MIT EA. Even if you’re deferred though, you would have an excellent chance in regular admissions.</p>

3

<p>I say you’re in, EA, unless your essays suck.</p>

4

<p>Don’t you know that RSI guarantees non-Internationals acceptance to MIT?</p>

<p>Come on, I mean, Matt McGann fed you cake and ice cream. How could you not get in?</p>

5

<p>Yeah, dude, barring you really screwing up, RSI gets you in.</p>

6

<p>I bet you’d get in even if you didn’t have RSI.</p>

7

<p>Who are you anyways?</p>

<p>I can’t seem to match you with a New York rickoid that I remember. PM me if you don’t mind.</p>
