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.
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.
