what can i do now to get into a school like MiT or ivy leagues

<p>i have completed my undergraduate calculus at the age of 15 !
sat scores most probably 2350+
i m going to give subject tests and i am sure of scoring 800 !!
i have amazing academic stats n lots of ECs !! formed several maths and science clubs and projects are at national levels n are innovative !
i m NTSE scholar and have won many quiz competitions ! but due to lack of facilities i have not been able to give olympiads but i am in research works and i will have more than 15 innovative projects by october 2013 ! now what should i basically focus on plz help me out !!</p>

<p>i need some help guys ! plz go on :frowning: :D</p>

<p>You’re 15, then? Are you trying to get accepted next year?</p>

<p>First thing to do might be to brush up on your English…</p>

<p>i am 16 right now and i will apply in MiT in november 2013 only !</p>

<p>Relax, you’ve done all you can. Turn off the computer, close the book and go outside. Maybe even talk to a girl, play a sport, how about some hands on auto mechanics. You see the thing about math is that it doesn’t change. The only thing that changes is what people do with it. I’d even think about taking a gap year. 17 is young to start college. Again no hurry, the math isn’t going anywhere.</p>

<p>Ask teachers for your recommendations.
Get last year’s application and write and rewrite your answers to the essays.</p>

<p>yes i will surely write a good essay…
i have also started my own labs…and i am planning to workout on the things i can but i have not given olympiads…i have a strong research background…so do i have a chance 2 cross d gates of MiT</p>

<p>Are you an international student (Sorry if that’s offensive)?</p>

<p>He’s from India, as a matter of fact.</p>

<p>MIT doesn’t have gates.</p>

<p>guys ! give some suggestions :smiley: :slight_smile:
and what should i do now</p>

<p>will plz anyone help :(</p>

<p>Work on your grammar.</p>

Go back and read the reply that sosomenza posted (#5) earlier today, and then follow it seriously. It may be the best advice you’ll ever get.</p>

<p>Yes you have a strong academic profile, but so do thousands of other MIT applicants. That one-sided strength in an application helps but is usually not sufficient.</p>

<p>What is it in your character that will add value and richness to the makeup of MIT’s student body? You don’t need to answer that here for us. It needs to come across between the lines in your application to MIT.</p>

<p>Here is some advice from someone in the MIT admission’s office. It has your name written all over it!</p>

<p>[Applying</a> Sideways | MIT Admissions](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/applying_sideways]Applying”>Applying Sideways | MIT Admissions)</p>

<p>Your test scores are projected test scores and not your actual scores. It’s hard to predict anything without regular scores.</p>

<p>thank you all…:slight_smile:
any other ways to increase my chances?/??</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>Yes. Read the numerous threads on this forum about how to improve one’s chances to get into MIT. They are filled with valuable rich information.</p>

<p>Then report back here with what you learned.</p>

<p>but do i have a chance if i m not an olympiad winner but have 15+ national and inernational level innovative projects ? :(</p>

<p>You haven’t given us any concrete data. If you have 15+ projects going, I suspect they aren’t good projects. What do you mean by “national and international level”? Are these projects part of competitions?</p>

<p>JOM50 is right on. sosomensa gave you the best advice. Just about everyone applying has similar credentials as you. Do something non academic related and you will stand out from everyone who has “only” exceptional academic credentials.</p>
