<p>Yeah, I just got my SATs and I bombed it really hard. This was my last chance to write my SATs, so I'm royally screwed. ><
I got M760CR600W600, if I take my old CR620 from January, I get:
M760CR620W600, or a total of 1980.</p>

<p>I'm applying for Engineering, preferably Bioengineering, and possibly double major with applied math.</p>

<p>My SAT IIs were good, or semi good:
MIIC800
P760
C730</p>

<p>I have already posted my other stuff before, so I'll just paraphrase a bit:
Did almost every math contest available except the USAMO (probably 10 major ones)
Member of Massey Ontario A ARML team (finished top 15 in North America)
Individual ARML questions: medallist
AMC 12: 123
AIME: 7
Physics/Chemistry Contest: top 97% in the nation.</p>

<p>I have a few swimming club records, city champ, and southwestern ontario champ firsts. I qualified for Ontario High School Provincials Championships for all but grade9 in Open Division.</p>

<p>My essays will be on
how I started swimming and how I came to love it (I'll make this as untypical as possible.)
and how I cope with living alone (parents working elsewhere)
family income is very low, <$40000 after taxes, and we rent in 3 different cities, does this count as a hook?</p>

<p>Anyways, my detailed stats are on another thread.</p>

<p>your income is very low?
My mother makes Less than 13000$ after taxes..
Please kid (=</p>

<p>Nice stats though, and dont worry.. hopefully MIT will look at your Math SAT I and II rather than your CR since the school is Science and Math based</p>

<p>LOL, well so far 4 Canadian IMO team members are applying to MIT, so they're in for sure. >< I'm screwed.</p>

<p>MIT does not relay only on SAT's when offering admission! there are people with PERFECT SAT's that got deferred! and people with 700's and even 600's that Got it!</p>

<p>Look, you got nothing to lose. The SATs aren't everything. You still have a lot of interesting qualities besides that. Go for it.</p>
