<p>Have you looked up the stats for those schools to see where you fall in their averages? If it's not easy enough to find that on their sites check out <a href="http://www.review.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.review.com&lt;/a> and maybe <a href="http://www.usnews.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.usnews.com&lt;/a> (not sure if they have those stats without a paid subscription tho). There's also the counselor o matic tool on review.com that can help you find schools, try that. If you put in narrow enough stats (specially geographic region) to bring up those unis it might tell you whether you're a reach, match or safety for them.</p>

<p>rick101, All of those except MIT look like reasonable matches, MIT mainly takes valedictorians (if you get some sort of prestigious science award, maybe one having something to do with aerospace engineering, then you may have a good chance, I know they LOVE to see things like that, and those engineering programs will look good to them, but they might not be enuf 2 get u in if you don't excel to the fullest in them, as in win an award or something.) If you want to go to Standford or UCLA, raise your SATI scores.</p>

#9

<p>how the heck can you get a 1200 SAT and be smart enough to get 800 Math IIC? Or do i not know what I'm talking about?</p>

#10

<p>what kind of professions can one have with a astrophysics major or minor? About the 800 on the II C I studied for 2 weeks</p>

#11

<p>I got a C- in Honors Chemistry and an 800 on the Chemistry SAT II.</p>

<p>A 690 on the Writing SAT II and 5s on the AP English Exams.</p>

<p>Some people have bad days, some people aren't good test takers. It's really a very unstable business - testing.</p>

<p>I'd say you're pretty secure at every school you applied except Northeastern. In which you've still pretty good chances, just not as secure.</p>
