<p>So, what do you think for MIT? what are my chances?</p>

2

<p>your stats are very impressive as are your extracirriculars
i think you have a very good chance of getting into MIT</p>

3

<p>LOL ISEF, did I meet you there last month?</p>

<p>Your chances are just as good as anyone's (I'm gonna predict EA acceptance contingent on essays), although 2 years at ISEF...that's boss.</p>

4

<p>wow.. just wow.</p>

5

<p>Very, very good chance. I would apply to Caltech and Stanford also, but that's just me.</p>

6

<p>thanks you guys....
it's just that people (like my *****y counselor) are telling me my chances are significantly lower due to a B+ in span soph year. But america's better than that, right?</p>

7

<p>wow, I didn't even notice your B+ the rest of stats are so amazing that they would easily overlook that. The A/A+'s are overwhelming the tiny B+.</p>

8

<p>Just keep in mind you'll be competing with lots of amazing applicants, so you aren't by any means guaranteed admission. Someone I know went to RSI and got a 2380 on the SAT at 15 and is applying to MIT.</p>

9

<p>You look like a strong applicant.</p>

10

<p>Forget the B+ -- it's trivial. NO ONE WILL CARE. Your GC sounds a bit flaky, if that's all he/she can focus on.</p>

11

<p>I'm glad you think so...having Bangladeshi parents (who are a lot like indians...), they think the B+ killed me...but nice to know there's hope!</p>

12

<p>You're in, easily. They don't care about the B+. Seriously.</p>

13

<p>^ Easily? No. With a great essay and recs to accompany your other amazing stats? Yuppers.</p>

14

<p>your councelour is a douche.. you have excellent chances at any school, especially science oriented schools (i.e. Stanford, CalTech, MIT)</p>

<p>you are definitely more impressive than I am: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/513033-please-chance-me-ivys-uk-schools-updated.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/513033-please-chance-me-ivys-uk-schools-updated.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

15

<p>thanks to all of you...anyone else, what do you think i should do for HYP? I feel highly unlikely i'll get in</p>

16

<p>I think you've done all you can for HYP...you've taken care of your academics, been involved in extracurriculars, and obviously put a lot of hard work into getting near perfect test scores. Seems like the rest is up to recs and essays...and fate!</p>

17

<p>I hate it when it all comes down to fate! But do you guys know anyone without a perfect GPA (3.98, like me) who got into MIT, Harvard, etc?</p>

18

<p>woah 4.84 weighted and 3.98 unweighted? Talk about inflation</p>

19

<p>did you get 2nd place at the National JSHS? That's quite impressive.</p>

20

<p>No, not nationally, unfortunately! Thread revival! anyone else? if you're asian do one B+ kill you?</p>
