<p>so... what do you think? i'd love to go to mit, harvard, princeton, yale, etc. what are my chances?</p>

<p>You're in at MIT if you apply ED. Especially if you're a female, you've got a great chance.</p>

<p>I'd say you've got a good chance everywhere else too. I'm partial to MIT because my sister's there and loves it.</p>

<p>pretty good chances at all
ISEF finalist is a great thing to have on your resume =)
you'll probably make it into like
at least 2 of
Princeton, Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Stanford
good luck</p>

<p>by the way, MIT is EA, not ED.</p>

<p>wow, that 1600 SAT is impressive. you have great chances everywhere. i say you're into atleast 2 ivies.</p>

<p>oh i guess i forgot to mention -- im an international so im not allowed to apply ED or EA i believe. mit also has a separate, more competitive quota for int'ls but i dont think harvard, princeton, or yale do.
thanks for all the comments; any1 else?</p>
