<p>You need either writing or the new SAT. You seem to have very little interest in humanities which will keep you out of Stanford, Cornell and perhaps UCB (out of state). Caltech, unless you've done something interesting with math or science or done competitions, is a huge reach. MIT is not unreasonable but I see nothing besides tests (perhaps because you only chose to post test scores.)</p>

<p>I would say that all are reaches. Do some stuff in humanities, or go out and join some clubs.</p>

<p>By the way, what school do you go to?</p>

<p>thank you blendecho for your message.
I add my information as follows:
1. many clubs (sports, music and social activity),
2. 3 times all-star (2 first-place and 1 second place) in math contest of a province level (grade 9, grade 10 and grade 11),
3. having little interest in humanities,
4. my school is an international school.</p>

<p>Ok firstly MIT is more "reach" than Cal-tech. </p>

<p>But you definitely need more extracurriculars. Getting into MIT or wherever is more than just test scores. They look all pretty peachy reachy to me.</p>

<ol>
<li>If you could list these it would be good.</li>
<li>Is this province Tokyo-to? If so, that's pretty impressive since it's uber-competitive, although I don't know enough to comment more. It'd be a huge plus for MIT/Caltech though, even though it's not national.</li>
<li>Then don't go for a liberal arts school like Stanford or UCB.</li>
<li>Sacred Heart? Just curious because I've been living near Tokyo for the past month and a half (Saitama.)</li>

<p>St. mary, it is a boy school.</p>
