You seem to have have average chances in regards to the applicant pool these schools have. I’ll break down your strengths and weaknesses:
The Good:
- ECs
- GPA
The OK:
- Test scores
The “Needs Improvement”:
- A wow factor (i.e. national recognition, start some organization, etc)
Chances:
MIT - mid to high reach
Stanford - mid to high reach
I hope you have some safeties in mind as well. Best of luck!!!
I agree with the above commenter. You need some more impressive E.Cs or a “Wow Factor” and possibly a 2300 or 2400 SAT. I know a perfect SAT score isn’t easy and a lot of people don’t care if they get one, but I think that would make up for the wow factor thing. These schools are very competitive.
just do your best and participate in things you love.
come back when you’re a senior because you can’t project SAT scores accurately unless you took a practice test.
Only a sophomore? How can we chance you? Take SAT II as well
I took a PSAT and the website projects expected scores.
Thank you for your inputs.
