What are my chances of being admitted to these top colleges?

Chance Me / Match Me!

I’m applying to 12 schools, with my top two “reach” schools being MIT and Caltech.
I think I’m a strong applicant, but I’m competing with similar applicants.

I think you have good chances at both.

MIT has a great taekwondo team, that competes regularly. You should check them out if you get admitted

4

Great great stats I think you have a really good shot at getting in. Did you apply ED to one of them?

5

I applied Early Action to both of them.

6

I think you’re a very strong candidate for wherever you apply. Your EC’s are unusual, your scores are stellar, and you show you’re committed to what you’re involved in.

7

How many times did you take the ACT?

8

Once, but I prepared for 7 years. Crazy asian parents lol

You’re an absolutely stellar candidate; they literally write news stories about perfect ACT scores. Plus, you have a very diverse set of interest whilst committing yourself to activities relating your major! You’re absolutely qualified for wherever you go! And wherever you go, it’s going to be good!
