<p>so if i was a senior right now with these stats, what do yall think my chances would be at these schools?</p>

<p>well, not bad...but MIT and Standford are reaches for anyone, yet Caltech is only a slight reach for you. Congrats! You have great stats. Can I suggest you applying to RIT as a safety? Definitely apply to MIT, Stanford, and Caltech because your submission would be pretty competitive there.</p>

3

<p>thx! anyone else?</p>

4

<p>SAT could be slightly higher but very nice.</p>

5

<p>don't predict ur sats... it only sets you up for disappointment</p>

6

<p>I agree with cujoe169.</p>

<p>TTG</p>

7

<p>by how many points on average does ur SAT score ur late junior year jump from your PSAT your early sophomore year?</p>

8

<p>i went from a 206 to a 213... both were off days... maybe 100 pts? ohh... 201 for sophomore</p>

9

<p>Early Action at Stanford or MIT would give you a legitimate chance. Keep in mind, however, that you're competing against what I like to term "science gods" that do everything math/science and do it perfectly. What might happen is that they'll take a good look at you, defer, and then admit you RD. </p>

<p>Demonstrating a high level of interest and excellent recs would put you over the edge, considering you're on the fence of being a very good shot for EA. Make sure that your EC's show a focus that relates to your major...I presume something science-related?</p>

<p>Stanford (7%), Caltech, MIT RD is VERY hard, and you can't expect much from that. Early is key. You CAN do MIT/Caltech at the same time, keep that in mind.</p>

10

<p>Stanford would prbly be my first choice but ill see, after i go there for EPGY this summer. Anyway my psat score last year was 196. Add 200 points to that and it would be 2160. I think ill be able to get it up between 2200 and 2300 if I try.</p>

11

<p>bump. does that seem like a safe estimate?</p>

12

<p>You shouldn't predict getting into NASA SHARP....it's such a crapshoot anyways</p>

<p>tkmonkey14:
are u really 14? that is bad u know, ur in middle school and from what i see u joined recently. some advice is that this site is VERY addicting and u will be spending several more years in front of a computer on this website. Get away from this site before the CC monsters come to get you....</p>

<pre><code> ...Beware....

<p>yeah but if i dont get into that im almost positive i will get into VA governors school. Still, id prbly find something else to do like SSTP instead.</p>

15
