<p>Feel free to chance me on MIT it's my dream school.</p>
<p>You’re definitively in range to apply to top tier schools like MIT and the Ivies. Do you know what you want out of your college experience? (school size, type of student body, location, etc.)</p>
<p>I’d check out Cornell as well (he said Ivies, but whatev :b )
for top schools like MIT it’s hard to give an accurate prediction of if you’ll get in</p>
<p>UMD and Lehigh may be good safetyish/likely schools</p>
<p>Maybe top LACs like Vassar, Colgate, Harvey Mudd?
I also think Lehigh and Carnegie Mellon would be good options, same with Michigan and maybe Wisconsin?</p>
<p>Looks like you have a pretty good shot at most places. What can your family afford? Will you qualify for good FA (low economic background) or will you need merit aid?</p>
<p>thanks guys, i appreciate it.
uhm were upper middle class white plus 100,000$ so i dont think i will qualify for much aid
but my parents will pay for two years whereever so that’s that. </p>
<p>Id like to go to college in the city, mid-size college, academically competitive. Hence MIT :D</p>
<p>I really hope this doesn’t come across as rude, but if you want a legit shot at MIT you should really focus on raising your math to 750+. Everything else seems good.</p>
<p>for some reason this sounds like a “look at how god damn good my application is” thread…nevertheless
with so many statistically good applicants applying to elite schools these days, things other than scores matter more. you have that in your AMAZING extracurriculars. I would be surprised if you DIDN’T get into MIT. or columbia, upenn, duke, etc. you proabbaly have a great chance at Harvard Yale and Princeton too. but it would definitely help to get your SAT’s up for those three. just don’t slack off in school obviously.</p>
