Hi all. I’m an International student from Austria. I’m applying to MIT EA, and I just wanted to know from you if I have any chance to get in.

I have excellent Secondary School Grades. In the Final Exam I got the highest score possible. No one in my school got this score, and in my city (10-12k students) only 3 got the same.

My TOEFL score (made about one year ago) is 92. Do I have to retake it?

Unfortunately my SAT Subject Test scores are not very good. I took 700 in Math1 and 750 in Physics. This was my first approach with standardized tests. I’m planning to take another time these tests (maybe math2) in December, after EA deadline, if I will not be rejected. May these low scores cause the rejection of my application?

I won important European Prizes, for Energy and Health, partecipated to ISEF, MOSTRATEC Brazil and my city’s MakerFaire.

I’m a good soccer player. I’m the capitain of the soccer squad of my school, and I also played for my city squad some years ago.

Indeed I’m the co-founder of a small company that provides IT services in Austria.

With two friends I made a small dog shelter, and we are planning to make it bigger.

I’m worried to be rejected from EA for my low test scores, and I’m studying hard to improve them for December Tests.
In your opinion, do I have any chance?
