<p>Hmmm… I would say a low reach for MIT, which is a decent shot and totally worth applying!</p>

<p>What is your race, because if your not Asian, then MIT is probably a high match or low reach. But if you are Asian, it is a reach. I know this sounds afwul, but thats the way it is. So if you are Asian, like try to make yourself out to be less Asian on your application. Also you should retake the sats and aim for a higher writing if you want, but its not that necessary.
Look at more schools and keep up your GPA is the best advice i can offer. </p>
