<p>Even though im pretty new to chancing....... your gpa seems good, SAT scores are pretty damn good, SAT II good and your EC's seem quite focused you know what you want to do. </p>

<p>Berkeley- In
Cornell- In
Stanford- good chance
MIT- I really dont know</p>

3

<p>Why don't you do AP calc?
Your math focus would suggest you're quite tailor made for MIT. </p>

<p>Good luck but I don't get not doing AP Calc, lol! </p>

<p>I'm doing AP BC Calc this year as a soph and I haven't got a clue about Calc III so its really impressive!</p>

4

<p>Berkeley- Low Reach (you are OOS and admissions are cut-throat. PDadich, there is a fair chance that the OP will make it in, but not at all set in stone)</p>

<p>Cornell- Low Reach
Stanford- Reach
MIT- Reach</p>

<p>@ the OP: What are your safeties?</p>

5

<p>I don't take AP calc cause my classes are actual college classes, so it counts as transfer credits instead of AP credits, and transfer credits from a school good enough (the U of MN is pretty good) is more weighty than AP credits. I think I'm still taking AP calc next year though anyways :)
I didn't take it last year cause there was one big part my class hadn't covered, and this year I already had 5 AP tests, I was already worn down from studying for others.</p>

6

<p>I dont know what OP is also...but I'm assuming thats me.</p>

<p>Safties: U of MN (in for sure)
Matches/Schools I don't want to go to but are still good:
Northwestern University
John Hopkins University
U of Michigan
UPenn
Carleton
USC
NYU
Boston U</p>
