Got’cha. Thanks for the clarification guys. I assumed from the beginning that I didn’t have much of a shot, but I’m glad you cleared up what was keeping me back.
@soze: I’m getting the sense that the only problem with my application is my SAT score, but I’m not particularly worried about it because I’m pretty sure I can do much better on my second try. I only really studied for CR and W which, luckily, I did better than I expected I would on. I’m not as flimsy at math though, so I can almost guarantee that I can get a 750+, maybe even an 800.
Also, I didn’t put it up because I haven’t taken the test yet, but I’ve gotten a 740 on Barron’s Math SAT II book, and I’ve heard that that’s really good for Barron’s and can almost guarantee an 800 on the actual Math ii.
Would that 2270 composite make me a decent candidate for MiT?
@“aunt bea” Noted. I’m definitely building a big list of safeties. I didn’t ask for my chances at them because I assumed that the Cappex calculator is a good enough estimate at my chances. I’m planning on having around 10-15 more schools I’m applying to, with around 9-11 targets and maybe between 6-4 safeties.
@ivyhopes12 I’ll have to check it out. It seems more straightforward on sites like testive, but I need to get a more accurate idea through prep books. Thanks.
