-I know you must be a minority, from a rural area, or have a parent that didn't attend college.
my (single) mother didn't go to college and up until I was 15 we lived in the country. I realize these are the requirments because kids in these situations usually don't have oppurtunities and based on my ECs I have. So do I have too many ECs to qualify? b/cus i worked my butt off to get those and my mom has worked her butt off to get me the best she can so it really sucks if my chances are killed bcus of that</p>
