<p>What are my chances for MIT, Caltech and Princeton?</p>

2

<p>ur sat I scores seem to be on the lower side for these colleges....u need atleast a 2100+ if u wanna have a decent chance....</p>

3

<p>RSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOA! ur into MIT!</p>

4

<p>MIT doesn't need SAT 1 actually of international applicants. So MIT??</p>

5

<p>99% at MIT dude. Who gives a flyin f for SAT I. ur into MIT anyway...since RSI is a ticket in.</p>

6

<p>how about caltech and princeton?</p>

7

<p>Princeton 50%, Caltech, maybe higher</p>

8

<p>u applying for next year right...you are in at MIt or caltech so make sure u apply...RSI is gonna help big time..if u have time just retake the sat or dont bother if u dont want to..just do your activities and apply to top colleges you'll get in...you dont know how much impact RSI has on the colleges...but still do give the SAT a thought coz if u can do better..then hey good scores is not bad.</p>

9

<p>80% CalTech
80% MIT</p>

10

<p>HYPS are match schools thanks to RSI, since rickoids have a 70%+ chance at these colleges. Retake SAT I - will look solid if u got 2100+</p>

11

<p>uve got a splendid chance if u had other all stuff even gud.. ( if not gr8) at gr8 schuls.</p>

<p>SM</p>

12

<p>I guess he has already applied</p>

<p>Hi ashish, nice to see you here... I'm rushil. hope you remember me from KVPY!! </p>

<p>Well, youve got a great CV....
So hows your IIT prep going - mine is great!
ANyways, PM me and I want to talk about something with you! </p>

<p>Well, RSI is truly great!
Pity I didnt know anything about RSI till the KVPY people contacted me and told me that I could apply for next year! Damn! By that time, you and Asilata had already finished your program I think! Anyways, let's talk a bit! PM me! Which project did you do at RSI? Mind showing me! I sent an article I wrote on a problem of Relativity I am solving with a few romanian profs to a few colleges! I'd love to share that ! But first , PM ME!!!</p>

<p>MIT say that for internationals, the SAT 1 can be substituted for TOEFL and SAT 2 Math level 2, so dont worry about the SAT</p>

<p>Apart from that you look brilliant !!! Wow RSI...your app is great ...well done</p>

<p>I dont know about princeton but caltech love a math/science oriented student and you are certainly one ... with nice qualifications so a great chance there as well</p>

15

<p>As for Ronty 007 confusion, yes I applied this year. Actually much because of RSI. So SAT 1 was just go and give the exam type. I am primarily hoping to get into IIT i.e. JEE 2006. But, I got really interested in MIT after RSI. So probably MIT is the only place I am actually worried about. Moreover with the uncertainity JEE is to be associated with U.S. colleges I though would serve as a viable backup option.
Thanks for your replies. Hope to get more comments.</p>

<p>What's RSI?</p>

<p>U have a better chance at Princeton than at MIT, Caltech. No one can ever be sure about getting into MIT, Caltech. However, you have a great chance at all 3. :)</p>

17

<p>RSI makes him a strong contender for a place at MIT
RSI stands for Research Science Institute</p>

18

<p>Since I dont know much about RSI, based on everything else, I'd say you have good-great chances at MIT, Caltech.</p>
