MIT acceptance chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>MIT admissions decisions are coming up and I'm starting to get nervous so what do you think my chances are (be as cruel as necessary)?</p>

<p>I'm an International Applicant and my SAT grades are:</p>

<p>Math Level 2 - 800
Physics - 800</p>

<p>Critical Reading - 800
Math - 800
Writing - 600</p>

<p>I skipped a year, learned calculus early in my life, I've been part of the Portuguese International Olympiads preparation team for the second year now and last year I ranked quite well at our National Physics Olympiads. And I swim quite regularly</p>

<p>My midyear report grades (which range from 0 to 20) are all in the 19's except Portuguese (This term was really bad and I had a 8) and Project Area (12). </p>

<p>My recommendation letters are very good</p>

<p>Will this bad Portuguese term affect very much my chances of getting in?</p>

<p>I'm sorry if the post looks like I'm bragging or something like that (I'm not) but I'm really anxious and I need some objective input (postive or negative).</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You score are high, but there are a lot of 800s applying to MIT. Your recent decline in grades could prove problematic. My advice to you is to take your highest standardized test scores, multiply them by the sum of your three lowest grades (0-20). Write that number on a piece of recylced paper with a number 2 pencil (This will not work with ink and the paper thing doesn’t really matter, but it is better for the environment.) bury this piece of paper in a hole in the ground (about six inches deep.) as close to your mailbox as you can. Wait until April 1, 2010 and the answer you seek will be in your mailbox.</p>

<p>OP
You might want to repost in the MIt forum</p>

the OP will get an answer around 3.14.2010 as MIT tells applicants the decisions on 3.14…</p>
