<p>Not bad. Your SAT IIs are indeed a bit low by MIT's standards, but if you have pretty decent grades in chem and math, they might look past that.</p>
<p>Otherwise, it really comes down to the essays. If you feel pretty good about those, you should have just as good of a chance as everyone else (which is still slim, but you probably knew that).</p>
<p>If your essay was really good, unique, distinguishing, and reflected your personality well, I'd say you have good chances. You're also a white male from Pennsylvania, so that certainly doesn't help, but EA will boost your chances. The major you put down on the application is irrelevant, but it'd be great if you talked about your demonstrated an interest in ChemE in other parts of your application. I wouldn't worry too much about your SAT II scores, those won't break your application. So overall, decent chances of getting in. At the very least, I'd be surprised if you weren't deferred. And a deferral is not a rejection, I know people who got in after being deferred. So if that happens, don't let it get you down.</p>
