Probability of admissions?

Applying to College

<p>Hey,
I'm Canadian and am kinda new to the whole American University thing so I was wondering if you could possibly give me an idea of what kind of universities I can get into.</p>

<p>-I have a 3.4 GPA (If I consider a A to be 90-100%. In Canada a 80%-100% is considered a A, but I wasn't sure if I need to adapt it to the American School System. If I use the Canadian 80-100 system, my average is a 3.9)</p>

<p>-2390 on the SAT's</p>

<p>-800 on the Math 2
-800 on Physics</p>

<p>Extracurricular:
-Published an app in the Mac App store and got over a 1000 downloads.
-Own a tech blog getting around 100 visitors a day
-Part of Mensa
-200 hours of volunteering</p>

<p>I got a 78 % in Math in Gr.9 (I had just moved and my life was a rush), but made up for it by getting a 90% in Gr.10, 93% in Gr.11, a 97 in Gr.12, another 97 for Data Management, and a 98 for Calculus.</p>

<p>I am currently a junior. Any idea what kind of colleges would accept me? I would consider my SAT score to be relatively high (high enough for Ivy Leagues probably), my extracurriculars are pretty good but my GPA is crap. The big difference in SAT scores and GPA has left me wondering what kind of university is right for me.</p>

<p>Dream university is probably MIT or CalTech. ANY chance of me being even considered?</p>

<p>Thank You.</p>

<p>Caltech is more numbers driven than MIT, although both are very selective. I’d say you’re on the right track. I would also say that if in your school 80-100 is an A, then that is what you should use and what the colleges will see.</p>
