I like seeing other people's opinions though I stopped caring back in ninth grade after I got my first C....

I wanted to apply to Mount Holyoke so I could have a legacy but common app won't let me apply online and using paper is too much work.

you'llsee...

probably in at Olin, CMU, RPI, Rutgers, and UofIll, however, GPA is low...that might hurt a bit.

MIT is also very possible, seeing as how you are an URM who is obviously exceptional at math (35 math ACT, and 800 Math II).

Brown is quite a reach, but again, being an URM will help a lot.

*BUMP*
Any other thoughts?

littlehamsterz

your extra curriculars are a bit lacking in terms of community service...probably will hurt you. GPA is also a bit low.
I'd say that MIT is a bit of a reach even though you're really good in math. I knew a guy, indian, who had a 1600 (old) SAT and only 1 B in his entire high school career and got rejected from MIT.

Not sure about the others.
