<p>MIT is a reach for everyone. </p>

<p>The general rule that apply to all chance threads is that any school that has a admit rate of less than 15-20% is a reach for everyone because those schools always admit people that dont deserve to be there and reject students that do.</p>

3

<p>Just to add something else in- I did crew freshman year and got a varsity letter</p>

4

<p>You are just as competitive as other applicants trying to MIT and the ivies. I have a question though, what book did you use to self-study AP Psych? I want to do that too =D</p>

5

<p>I used the Barrons, but I actually took the textbook and read it about twice through during the year.</p>

6

<p>come on… somebody say something…</p>

<p>That 750 on Math 2 will bring you down.
You have a shot though. Best of luck.</p>
