<p>do i qualify for a urm?
my dad is kenyan and was born in kenya and my mom is white
so i am not really african-american
Will being "african" still help chances at UNC?</p>
<p>yeah i do think it'll help you a little</p>
<p>yea you definitely qualify...the fact that you're half one ethnicity and half another is probably worth more than just being one ethnicity</p>
<p>are you in-state or OOS? b/c if your OOS you could be jesus and it still wouldn't matter if you didnt have a stellar gpa/SAT/SATII and EC's</p>
<p>lol being jesus would guarantee admission, sorry..but yea thats a good point</p>
<p>I don't think it would help much. UNC gets a lot of in-state URM applicants.</p>

I'm not so sure. </p>

<p>He didn't report a GPA and appears to be home schooled. His father is just a carpenter (although he is claiming a second father; apparently there is some dispute) and his mother is just listed as a "Virgin" (I wonder if anyone has explained to him the facts of life). Also, he is from an area where most people are illiterate and thus I question whether he could have received the necessary training in the core courses (although he is claiming some personal involvment in the creation of Christian history). He seems to have no knowledge of the ancient Greeks, never read Homer, and asserts the world actually began with Adam and Eve. Nevertheless, he appears to be well-read in the scriptures and does seem to be able to cite chapter and verse. Also, he appears to be a compelling speaker who has stood often before the masses to present his ideas on the meaning of the scriptures. So he obviously has been able to overcome his less than stellar upbringing. </p>
<p>His test scores are excellent, perfect in fact, but there may be a scandal lurking as he was accused by some Philistines of knowing the questions and answers before starting the test. He professed that it is just his uncanny ability to see the future. As no direct proof of actual cheating could be found, the testing center decided that it had no choice but to certify his scores. Like other doubters I also question his excuse. </p>
<p>His EC's appear at first glance to be impressive -- turning scant food into enough to feed thousands, healing the sick, making the blind see, raising someone from the dead. However, others have asserted that those are magicians tricks designed to fool the masses. Moreover, he definitely has a Messiah complex, believing himself the saviour of mankind and claiming he can forgive sins. I have learned of reports that he is a true rebel and his actions are all designed to bring down the established government so he can become king. I have visions of his leading the students to take over the administration center if we did something he disliked like our plan to cut religion courses from the curriculum because of budget cuts. Also, I wonder how a person like him will fit among all of our ambitious, success oriented students when his philosphy can be summed up in his own words as "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." </p>
<p>He has worked as a carpenter but otherwise has not performed any work that could be considered meaningful for college admission. His recommendations are filled with glowing remarks about being the greatest person who ever lived but I am not sure how much credence we can put in recommendations that come from a prostitute (Mary Magdalene), a fisherman (Simon who also seems to go by Peter), a former tax collector turned religious fanatic (Matthew), and a filthy hermit who baptizes religious converts by attempting to drown them in lakes. </p>
<p>There is no legacy here though he claims to be a descendant of Abraham, and he is not an under-represented minority. His promise to provide us all with the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven seems empty at best. I am somewhat intrigued by his belief that he will someday be crucified and then rise from the dead but then many of our applicants usually have a death wish and are on the verge of suicide anyway. In balance, I have to give a thumbs down. He is just too much of a risk and I doubt he could add anything of substance to the prestige of the university.

<p>lmao. who knew.</p>
