<p>Hello internet,</p>

<p>MIT early action admission decisions are being released tomorrow. Logically, I am very nervous and unsure of what the realistic probability of me getting into the school is. Being accepted to MIT is a long shot for anyone just by the mathematics of the situation, but I am curious as to what others think are my chances of getting in. </p>

<p>Here is some basic information about me:
3.72 GPA(unweighted out of 4)
5.13 GPA(weighted out of 6)
SAT Score: 2100(640 reading, 770 math, 690 writing)
Subject Tests: Math Level 2: 800, Physics: 660
AP Classes:
AP Government
AP World History
AP Environmental Science
AP English Lang.
AP Computer Science
AP US History
AP Calculus AB
AP Calculus BC
AP English Lit.
AP Economics
AP Physics 2
I've received all 4's and 5's on the AP Exams I have taken.
I go to a magnet high school for computer programming and I am proficient in multiple programming languages.
I have been extremely active in my Jewish youth organization BBYO for the past four years, and I have served as Regional President and Regional Vice President of Judaism and Community Service. I have also attended over a dozen leadership conventions with the organization as well as two leadership summer programs.
I have attended a space and aviation camp in Alabama every year for the psst nine years.
I am captain of my school's quiz bowl team; we have appeared on two televised tapings of a local quiz bowl competition.
I am a member of the national honor society.</p>

<p>Please be as honest with me as possible. Personally I expect I will get deferred, but please let me know what you think.
MIT has been my dream school since I was like 10, but in the event I do not get in I will be more than happy to attend one of the other schools I applied to.</p>

<p>You fit the profile of most admitted students. Solid test scores and extracurriculars. Your GPA is a bit lower than the average admit but half of admitted students are. As cliche as it is, being admitted to MIT is so much more than just your test scores and classes you took. As Mr. Peterson has said on a few other chance threads is that without knowing everything, if your ‘stats’ are in the ranges all anyone can say is ‘idk, maybe?’.From everything you have said about yourself, you look like a strong applicant, so you probably have a better chance than most, but without knowing everything, I also cannot give you a better answer. I apologize that my answer was not more straightforward but decisions will be released in less than 14 hours, so breathe. Nothing you do now will change the outcome you receive later today. </p>
