<p>Native Americans have the highest level of affirmative action. Raise that SAT as high as you can, gain some leadership positions, and take SAT 2’s.</p>

<p>700+ on sat 2’s, 2150+ on SAT, some president or captain positions, and i think u’ll have a good shot at top tier schools like harvard and yale.</p>

<p>yeah it does help a lot that you are native american. great volunteer and work experience, just work on raising the sats a bit, and try to become an officer or a captain in a club or team <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1169169-chance-me-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1169169-chance-me-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks guys! That helps a lot!</p>

<p>just to let you know, to put down native american on your college apps, you have to also send in proof or some documents of your specific tribe and heritage. I’m not 100% sure but its something like that.</p>
