I never said this person would get in–I said they were a slight reach. Also, I would say someone is a match if the statistics said they had about a 65-75% chance of getting in.

The point is, you never know where someone will get in–but you can give your best estimate of their chances, which is what this thread is for.

I realize that MIT is one of the toughest schools to get into in this country, but some people will get in–my son’s sailing partner got in last year–but he was the only person from my son’s high school that has been accepted to a school of this caliber in the three years the high school has been open. So obviously, the competition to get in is intense.
