<p>Do your best then pray!</p>

<p>MIT - Reach
Harvard - Reach
Stanford - Reach
Yale - Low Reach
Duke - Low Reach</p>

<p>Your profile is very impressive and your hooks will help a lot :slight_smile: Even though I put down MIT as a reach for you, it will be all highly qualified applicants. If you don’t get in, I would be surprised!</p>

<p>I think you are as competitive as an MIT applicant is gonna get. To hard to tell considering it is the best technical school in the world however I think you could shoe in at a top 10 easily. Apply to some other schools you never know!

<p>Is my math score too low for MIT? That’s honestly what’s concerning me the most. Does MIT want only math minds, or do they want well-rounded students too?</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter now, you’ve already applied.</p>

<p>When it comes down to these schools, it really get picky. Your very close to the perfect applicant but your lack of A+'s , might hurt you. I think your in at Duke, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown. The others might be reaches. good luck!</p>

<p>All of those schools are reaches. (What major are you applying for - it could make a difference at some of those schools). You have a very strong application, so you will get in many schools. No one knows whether any of those you listed will be among them, but best of luck. (Everyone should be sure to apply to at least one safety.)</p>
