<p>Well, obviously, you're brilliant. You're on a good track as long as your SATs are excellent (which from seeing that you're probably a NM finalist will probably be).</p>

3

<p>Do you know your PSAT score?</p>

4

<p>you took BC calculus as a freshman?</p>

5

<p>PSAT score is 237...so if i don't get at least semifinalist i will be very surprised</p>

6

<p>hmm does the major you put down influence your chances of admission?</p>

7

<p>Okay, I was asking because PSAT is fairly indicative of your SAT score.</p>

<p>And the major really doesn't have much affect, unless it makes it so that you apply to a different college like at Columbia (College vs. SCEAS). Most people change their majors something like 5 times over 4 years so they aren't going to have much influence.</p>

<p>MIT-Smaller Reach
Stanford-Smaller reach
UPenn-Match
Berkeley-Match
Caltech-Reach</p>

<p>congrats on being the perfect student... have a good time at MIT</p>
