They view your application in a holistic manner so everything counts.

So you’ve thrown all your eggs in one basket? It’s MIT or nothing? That’s not a good thing to do. There’s a very strong possibility of rejection and you don’t seem to want to hear that reality.

There are over 20,000 very well-qualified students with high SAT scores, high grade point averages, thousands of hours spent in volunteering in their communities and glowing LORs from teachers, coaches and employers who apply yearly. And there’s only 1000 spaces. The US has over 95,000 valedictorians each year. And even they don’t necessarily qualify for admission to MIT.

Do the math.

Take the SAT.

Apply to the universities in Canada. You’re underestimating them. Those are your targets. My son-in-law graduated from Waterloo. His resume is impressive.

Realistically, these are your reaches.
