From University of Miami to MIT

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello friends, so here is my story short: I graduated from a high school in Colombia (but I am a US citizen) and applied to MIT got into the waitlist and then got rejected. I went to penn state for mechanical engineering for one semester got a 3.8 GPA. after that semester someone in my family got terminally sick and some other problems forced my to transfer to the University of Miami were I have studied for last past 3 semesters (junior right now) GPA: 3.94. I have done one internship so far, it was in a Colombian energy company; I have done research for one semester and I am the founder and president of energy club. I feel like no matter how good my grades are just because I am graduating from University of miami I wont get into MIT for a masters in engineering what do you think? Could someone please advice me?</p>

<p>yes, I am planing to apply to other less competitive schools. But what I really want to know is what my chances are? is it even possible to get from University of miami to MIT? has someone done it, those are type of answers I am looking for. Thanks</p>

<p>I know one person going from UF to top ranked Stanford for aerospace engineering so it is certainly feasible.</p>

<p>He had 3.8 GPA and 1500 GRE, probably also lots of research and good recommendations.</p>

<p>If you are engineer maybe you can chance me in this thread, thanks in advance:</p>
