<p>I've seen a few of these "what are my chances" threads on Google and thought I'd give it a try. I just finished the SAT and I'm now having a bout of depression, so I want to confirm the ****-poor chance I have of getting in to my dream school, MIT.</p>
<p>I'm an end-of-year Junior and my current unweighted overall GPA is 3.56 (only HS grades). I've taken 6 AP classes so far (World Hist, Chem, Phys B, Bio, CS, and US Hist) and 7 dual enrollment classes at UNM (Trig, Precalc, Calc, Physics, Calc II, Stats, Psych 101). Up until last year I've had mostly A's, but now they're mostly B's and all slowly declining... Next year classes don't matter, do they? Extra curricular... I know and have used C/++, Python, HTML/JS, PHP, and Java, but I haven't been in any official clubs.</p>
<p>So again, what are my chances that I'll get in? I know they're bad; just tell me so I know without having to wonder if those around me are just stupidly optimistic.</p>
<p>
Get in where? Princeton, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern? No chance.</p>
<p>Central Valley Community College? Great chance.</p>
<p>You’ll need to be more specific.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Last sentence, first paragraph.</p>
<p>Sorry I missed that. Virtually no chance.</p>
<p>Now, could you go into detail about why I have no chance? I’m hoping to use you as a source of unbiased opinion, and I don’t want you to be dismissed as a random internet lurker.</p>
<p>Basically no chance. GPA is pretty weak (unless that places you in the top 2-3 spots in your grade) and even so, you have no proof of impressive math/science achievements, which are crucial to getting into MIT. You will be in a pool with applicants who have international awards, have placed in national competitions, done extensive research, won state and regional competitions, and are at the top of their classes. As sherpa said,You have virtually no chance.</p>
<p>But seriously, relax. Not getting into MIT for undergrad is not nearly the end of the world. Aim for MIT for graduate school.</p>
