<p>I applied to MIT, Harvey Mudd, and CalTech (among others, don't worry I have much safer schools than those three) and was wondering what my chances at gaining admission to one of the three is approximately. Thanks in advanced and I will look at your statistics if you "chance" me!</p>

GPA unweighted: 3.85
APs: Vergil, Chemistry (5 on the test), AB Calc (5 on the test), BC Calc, Physics C, Biology, English
Most other courses are either honors or CIS (college in the schools)
I also did a year long organic chemistry independent study
Summer underwater research course at cornell (college level 730)- grade: A
Summer computational medicinal chemistry enrichment course at Northwestern- grade: A
Essays: Very Strong

Minor research at Cornell through the underwater research course (one year)
Marine Toxicology Research through R.J.Dunlap Marine Conservation Program (one year)

Tennis (recruited for CalTech, but that's essentially meaningless. the coaches at MIT and Harvey Mudd said they can't help me in admissions) (four years)
Scientific Diver and Specialist- Full voting member of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (four years)
Instrumental Music- college camps etc. (four years)</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to read and let me know your opinion of my chances!</p>

<p>GPA is a bit low, research is good though. In at Mudd, realistic chance for waitlast/rejection from both Techs though, given your circumstances though.</p>
