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

<p>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).</p>

<p>Brown is quite a reach, but again, being an URM will help a lot.</p>

<p><em>BUMP</em>
Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Not sure about the others.</p>
