<p>Chance my friend! She really wants to know her chances, but doesn't feel like making an account so we're both on mine.</p>
<p>(P.S. She's really mad that i made the title that way, but i won't let her change it haha)</p>

<p>Other thangs:

<p>Things she's worried about:
- She feels as if she has to score above 2300 on SAT to stand a chance
- Weak AP scores
- Even her sister (Harvard 09) was deferred from MIT</p>
<p>Chance her for:</p>
<p>MIT (EA/Grad-School Legacy)
Harvard
Yale
UPENN
Stanford
Columbia
Brown
Wellesley
Maryland</p>
<p>She really wants to go to MIT and study neurology/biology!!</p>
<p>Don't listen to fresh, he's probably one of those bitter j*ackasses.</p>
<p>I think all those schools are crapshots for everyone, no matter how bright they are. AP scores really don't affect admission all that much, it may help but not alot. Write a good essay, apply to safety schools and pray a little.</p>
<p>I think UPenn, Columbia, Weleslley, Maryland are likely.</p>
<p>no. i mean 4.0. i think that she has a perfect 4.0/4.0 unweighted GPA and a 4.74/4.0 weighted GPA (which accounts for AP courses etc.). IMO, it would be rather hard to have 4.0/5 GPA unweighted and still be ranked #2</p>
<p>"Her GPA and SAT scores are too low for MIT, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia and Brown."</p>
<p>Wait, what are you smoking. If you're going to state the above statement, at least leave out the part about her GPA. In the least, a 4.0 UW will suffice, if not strongly complement the rest of her application when applying to the aforementioned schools.</p>

ehhh... are you sure your friends? i know that this title may be a little funny and that you are teasing your friend but you might want to be a little bit more sensitive. anyways i've already chanced your friend in the Brown forum...</p>
<p>Don't bother retaking that SAT -___- I mean she could, but she probably has better things to do if she's shooting for the schools you listed. I know people who scored lower than 2300 (myself included) who got listed schools, and I know people who scored higher than 2300 who are going to state schools.</p>
<p>Write interesting essays! Her ECs are very very good, so it'll pretty much come down to recs + essays.</p>
