Thank you in advance</p>
<p>MIT is not Ivy League … and by the way you stand a good chance. One Suggestion - "if ur expected family contribution is relatively higher … u might get into some. " 
good luck :)</p>
<p>haha…yeah i totally forgot…and i dont get what you mean by the last statement…are you saying that it depends on how much my family is willing to pay ??</p>
<p>Hey, I think there are a lot of applicants like you who apply to MIT and such top colleges. But those who get into them are the ones who aced their interviews! believe me they reject 95% of applicants after the interview…If you are good at giving an impactful interview you are in…</p>
