<p>GPA: 4.05 out of 5.0 (kinda low, our school doesn't rank but 18% of ppl have GPA > 4.0)
SAT: 2150 (660/690/800), 2110- best combined in 1 sitting</p>

<p>SAT II's : Math Level 2: 800, Chemistry: 800</p>

<p>AP's: BC Calculus--5, Chemistry--5, Statistics--5</p>

<p>Awards/Extracurricular's</p>

<ul>
<li>2 time USAMO qualifier (AMC12: 129, AIME: 9) </li>
<li>ARML participant/ 2006 Individual High-scorer (i got a 7)</li>
<li>school math team captain</li>
<li>tutoring
-participation in state math competitions, 3rd place in state last year</li>
</ul>

<p>I'm applying to Caltech, Cornell, UMichigan early. What are my chances at these three schools? </p>

<p>Should I apply for schools less competitive than UMichigan (It appears that my UMichigan chances are pretty good since I was invited to visit there this summer for doing well on AIME? But I'm not that confident about this)</p>

<p>No, concentrate ur efforts on these schools for Early. Apply to safeties in ur RD.</p>

3

<p>Your GPA and standardized test scores aren't great.</p>

<p>But you have USAMO and ARML, which are both great hooks for Caltech. Past that, you seem pretty one-dimensional in your ECs.</p>

<p>Cornell: Reach
Caltech: Low Reach
UMich: Match/Low Match</p>

<p>Should I even apply for MIT RD? (Is it even worth applying with bad GPA+SAT)</p>

<p>What are my chances for UWisconsin, UIUC?</p>

5

<p>Yea, MIT can be forgiving about the numbers, and they will see the passion for mathematics with USAMO and ARML.</p>
