Is this really true?

Accepted

  • SAT: 2120 750M 730CR 640CW
  • SAT II: 800 Math II 800 Biology 780 Chemistry

Subjective
  • Essays: I wrote about overcoming a difficulty in cross country through the use of research (sort of a connection to MIT I suppose) I didn't write any of the optional essays.
  • Teacher Recs: pretty good but nothing extraordinary
  • Counselor Rec: nothing special, doesn't really standout
  • Supplementary Material:athlete, letter from MIT coach
  • Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): recruited cross country/track athlete (letter from MIT coach), double legacy (W00T - I've known what IHTFP meant since I was 8), white female?
Personal
  • Location:upper-middle class suburb (silicon valley)
  • High School Type: medium sized public school. Does have a lot of diversity though
  • Ethnicity: white
  • Gender: female
Other
  • Extracurriculars: cross country/ track, marching band, soccer ref, red cross,
  • Awards: academic awards - rien (none other than the usual college board awards) athletic awards - a few
  • Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:
I'm a good enough in cross country to run at a DI school, but MIT is better =P (this is probably what got me in)
