<p>No Way You Get In, Your'e Not Qualified Enough. How Do You Get First Place In The Math Competition And Not Get 800 On Math. It's All Lies.</p>

3

<p>eflo you are just jealous besides math comp and sat are totally different we have 5 minutes to do one problem compare to 1 minute per problem in the sat</p>

4

<p>any real comments?</p>

5

<p>i dont think you have a chance at stanford or cornell...</p>

<p>mit is a reach also...</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure you'd get in at tech.</p>

6

<p>i think i don't have a chance in mit but reach at cornell and stanford</p>

7

<p>bump this up will you and the computer answers</p>

8

<p>take the act
and sat
thats all i can say
ur sats are really low for some of those schools</p>

9

<p>i have tried to improve sat scores but i am too dumb/too lazy to memorize all the vocabs all those sat prep books want you to do</p>

10

<p>Sadly Stanfords out of the picture. Ur gpa is good for stanford but ud want around a 2200 and you dont have an exc that stands out. However, I think you have a legitimate shot at all your other schools but A) You have to go undeclared. As a Engineering major with ur sats esp in Math it will cripple you B) Your essays have to be amazing. None of your exc are hooks (nothing impressive such as being a page for house of reps or internship for a big company). If your essays are spectacular+you go undeclared, you have a legit shot at Cornell and down.</p>

<p>1410 SAT too low for Stanford and MIT, average for Cornell, but below avg for Cornell enginering. CMU is a good possibility, others a lot easier</p>
