Now that decisions are about to come out for early action I was wondering what you guys think my chances are of getting accepted to MIT.
Asian/Indian
income: 10k/year
applying EA

GPA:3.42 UW, no W GPA at my school

ACT:36
SAT 2: math 2,770, physics, 670,

9 AP classes including the ones from this year

I currently have two research positions with different professors. One regards global health while the seconded one is research in seeing if we can detect plaque accumulation in the arteries though the use of ultrasounds.

I have also created an organization with my brother, and currently am the high school coordinator, at my local university which takes donations from local college donors and distributes it to the poor in our local area.

I am also a teacher at my local religious non-profit center. I teach about 10 students per week for about 1 hour.

I also created a free sat course for low-income students in which I and a few other teachers attempt to teach these low-income students ways to do better on their SAT examinations and we also offer them the resources needed to prepare for the test.

Awards: National AP scholar, and a few awards from my local religious center.

Now I know my GPA is extremely low in comparison to MIT standards and my sat subject test scores are not great, but I was wondering if you guys think my other stats such as my ACT and my extracurriculars could push me over the edge. Thanks

I think your AP scores and recs could really help you out if those are absolutely outstanding to prove that you are capable of the level of challenge at MIT.

@Vector12:
Although there are a lot of contributors on this forum who have an understanding of how MIT admissions operates (including MITChris who works in the MIT admissions office), any reply of chances would be no better than throwing darts at a dart board. It is really that unpredictable.

Even MITChris, in his admission’s blog (http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/no_chance) says even he is unable to predict what someone’s chances are.

You will know the exact answer in a few short weeks. Good luck.
