<p>SAT 2 scores?</p>

<p>what about your SAT IIs, better take those.
but I think you have a pretty good chance, but then you're a dude, and MIT loves girls.</p>

<p>I think that you're a good match for MIT, but your chance is 50/50, depends on your luck</p>

<p>You're definitely qualified, but for MIT, it's still a reach, because it's MIT.</p>

<p>AMC and AIME?</p>

<p>Good SAT, Good Rank, Good ECs. You need to take some SAT II's but I have faith that you will do well in them by look at your academic resume. MIT is a reach but an attainable one. Good Luck and look into some Ivies and other schools.</p>

<p>Please chance me at:

<p>Oh yes, I forgot to post my SAT II's... (I didn't have much time to post everything, heheh)</p>

<p>Math II: 800
Physics: 800
World History: 780</p>

<p>AMC: 124.5
AIME: 7</p>

<p>This year, I was 2.5 points away from the USAMO.</p>

<p>Also, here are the courses I've taken so far (High school):</p>

<p>9th, 10th Honors Language Arts, AP Language and Composition
Honors Biology
Honors Chemistry
AP Physics
French 2 (Honors isn't possible)
Honors French 3, 4
Honors Algebra
Honors Geometry
Honors Algebra II
Honors Precalculus
AP Calculus
IT Foundations
Political Science
Health
AP World History
AP Statistics
AP Computer Science A</p>

<p>Also, I'm Treasurer of my school Beta club (forgot to mention that).</p>

<p>Science Olympiad:</p>

<p>10th grade: 1st place regional - Experimental Design
2nd place regional - Compute This
3rd place regional - Remote Sensing
2nd place state - Compute This
2nd place state - Fermi Questions
11th grade: 1st place state - Fermi Questions</p>

<p>Ah, and I forgot for FBLA... 8th place Nationals in Java (happened two days ago, actually).</p>

<p>I'd say in at MIT.</p>

<p>What would you say about these colleges in particular:</p>

<p>CalTech
Princeton
Stanford
Georgia Tech
Duke University</p>

<p>Summer Activities:</p>

<ul>
<li>9th: went to India and taught poor children English</li>
<li>10th: attended GHP (Governors Honors Program)</li>
<li>11th: attended ARML, National Beta Convention (2nd in Math, as above), National FBLA Conference (8th in Java, as above)</li>
</ul>

<p>Science Olympiad isn't all that important. If you list all those regional awards, it may not necessarily look good. I think you're in Caltech, Duke, and Georgia Tech and have a good shot at the rest.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at all those schools above and a decent shot at MIT just because it is so hard to get into. If you wouldnt mind please comment on my chances <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=365470%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=365470&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I also play piano (8 years), and violin (5 years). I have won a local piano competition ($20) and have achieved the superior rating in piano festival for six years. I have also played for numerous concerts for violin.</p>
