You’re a reasonable candidate for these schools. But just remember, so are many of the thousands of students who also apply to these schools and are rejected. Even though the information you present here makes you appear to be a competitive applicant for all of these schools, you could readily be shut out of all of them. Make sure you have a safety or two or three. Schools that you’d really like if none of your top choices come through.

Excellent chances for any computer science/engineering program-MIT included. Comp Sci/Engineering programs would love to increase diversity by including more females in their programs and you are a strong candidate as is. Even for other programs, the academics are there (excelling at a competitive school), leadership is there, and you have an interesting talent w/ the languages/international experience. Maybe see if you could enter some competitions w/ your research but overall good job.

If you catch my drift, my advice would be for you to apply as a comp sci or engineering major come fall because you will be looked at more favorably applying as a female.

Wow you have impressive academic stats. Those schools are all very tough, but you have a good chance. Good luck! Chance back: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1753701-chance-me-ill-chance-back-p1.html
