<p>Pleast post stats..</p>

<p>from Canada here. stats in profile -prstats</p>

<p>I am from Bulgaria</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>SAT II: MATH IIC - 800, Physics - 800, Writing - 570 (But I'm applying as an internatinal student)
TOEFL: 263
My GPA is somewhere about 3.7
I am interested in Computer science.
I have not done any research.
My strongest points are the honors I have been awarded.
I have competed in and won MANY competitions:</p>

<p>bronze and silver medal at IOI (international olympiad in informatics)
bronze and silver medal at Balkan OI ( Southeastern Europe OI)
Two gold medals from an international Austrlian mathematical competition</p>

<p>Many national and regional awards in informatics and mathematics (Including 3 times national champion in Informatics)</p>

<p>Essays and recs will be OK ( not brilliant though)</p>

<p>I don't have much extracurricular activities, since most of my time I spent
practicing for the IOIs and other competitions.</p>

<p>As for my interview, I had problems.
First of all they did not assign me an EC. Then I asked for one and
ehn i finally phoned her (it was hard, cuz she was abroad) she told me
she could not have any more interviews. Like she had a quota and has fulfilled it. So I did not have an interview, but i trully wanted to have.
I wrote MIT an email and am waiting for reply</p>

<p>I think my essay would be good.
I only need to make some cosmetic changes and to finish up my conclusion.
I finally started to like it. </p>

<p>Apart from my informatics/mathematics activities I'm keen on skiing, reading book, riding bicycle. In the optional part (something that you have created) i wrote about a clay sculpture i have created.</p>

<p>I don't play any instrument, nor do i practice sports.</p>

<p>How do you estimate my chances?</p>
