You had a 5.0 at MIT? You were the valedictorian?

With those stats, good shot.

also, I am guessing if you had a 5.0 at MIT, you must've been at M/B/B, which means you talked about B-school day-in-and-day-out with your co-workers (that's what all the consultants did when I was interning), so you know you have a good shot. heck, i am guessing if you worked in top strat, you have more than a 'decent' idea of what it takes to get in. you should know dozens of alums who are at these places, maing our opinion, if not irrelevant, at least relatively worthless.

all of that makes your post suspect. but then again, i am skeptical in general.

 

lol, is this post fo' serious? A paltry 5.0 I had a 17.5. You'll definilty get in, HBS may be exclusive but MIT=really good school, 5.0= insanly high GPA, PE=good for entrance. You're in

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

Hi guys, I was really just curious whether I'm safe or whether I need to be concerned about cramming some extracurriculars into my free time.

Also, MIT doesn't have a valedictorian. In fact, honors aren't given either--everyone graduates with the same degree.
