<p>your strong but a higher SAT 1 score wouldn't hur. Maybe I'll see u at Harvard lol</p>

<p>I wouldn't get your hopes up too high, but I'd say that those are very impressive stats from your disadvantaged background and you'll definitely get an edge for that, but I don't know.</p>

<p>First generation going to college- wow. If I were an adcom, I'd take you. I think you look very strong. You have very good chances in my opinion.</p>

<p>i wonder what was qualmy's stats (the guy from "The Apprentice" with Donal Trump), I remember he was black, but i think he had good stats.
You have a mediocre stats compare to those ppl, i doubt being black is your hook. some of my friends are black and they got like 1500+ and like 4.5 GPA, so ya, your stats are like mine. We are good, but not good enough. U have chance, but start other applications for other universities for now. (that's what i am doing, getting my letter from Stanford next week )</p>

<p>The first generation college student status will help you, as it should. Harvard, like other schools, has every reason to encourage people like you. And besides that, your stats are strong enough that you would have a chance anyway. If Harvard doesn't take you, some good school will, of that I'm certain.</p>

<p>A poor choice of thread title.</p>
