i def didn’t realize the minority part until i sent in everything
i’m soooooooo smart, eh?</p>
<p>hahah
congrats on the acceptance though!</p>
<p>Thanks for the info mvz315. much appreciated</p>
<p>92akire92,
Yeah, I’m a minority.
Also, by the time that I applied, I hadn’t taken the SAT or ACT.
And I’m pretty sure that my PSAT was pretty low(under 70 for math).
I had also gotten bad scores of AP Bio and AP World History(3 and 3).
I think what saved me was that I was in Multivariable Calc, had a clean transcript, and was super involved in school. Oh, and my essay was pretty decent as well.</p>
<p>And for everyone else that applied,
I wish you the best of luck!
I spoke with the person in charge of the YESS program last week and she said that there were a record number of applicants this year.
There were over 750, but there are still only 30 spots.
So for the 4% of you that get in, you should feel super honored :)</p>
<p>4%!!! Whoa… i should’ve waited too look here… =(
Oh well…Im still hopefull!!! Still Prayin!!!</p>
