3

<p>bump.......</p>

4

<p>i guess i shouldnt</p>

5

<p>SAT & SAT II scores a little too low....</p>

<p>Your ECs look good; as long as you work a bit on your scores, you'll probably have a decent chance.</p>

6

<p>i'm gonna retake SATI, probably oct. where do you think i will about 75% get in?</p>

<p>Wow, with your stats you could have had it so good at the university of Michigan if you would have been a year older! They had great scholarships specifically designated for minorities, and you would have probably gotten one. However, in Michigan, an anti-affirmative action initiative passed and those goodies are all gone now.</p>

<p>State colleges in general are great with minority support. However, based on what I have seen, the advantage diminishes greatly when applying to any of the top-tier colleges like Harvard. I can't really say for sure, but that has just been my experience after browsing some of the acceptance threads.</p>

<p>I think you should take the SAT and raise it to a 2100 at least or maybe take the ACT. Your rank is great and that will help and your ECs are great. Nobody can say anything for sure about the Ivies, but at some of those other schools (like Umich), I'm absolutely positive that you will get in.</p>

8

<p>what is so great about the HYPS, anyway, other than their prestige and expensiveness</p>

9

<p>its not actually expensive as they give out ridiculous amounts of financial aid. in the end ur left with pretige and a strong alumni network and what is wrong with taht?</p>

10

<p>if you really want to do BME, check out UPenn b/c they have the best BME program out of all the ivies</p>

11

<p>what evidence is there that UPenn is the best, how about Brown</p>

12

<p>Are you an alcoholic? What do you mean when you ask if AA will help you?</p>

<p>I think that overcoming addiction to liquor could be a good essay topic for you.</p>

13

<p>AA = affirmative action....-.-'''</p>

14

<p>Thanks, CandidateA..
Regardless of whether you were serious or not, I needed a good laugh. :p</p>

15

<p>Ha, I actually was serious. Man I wasn't thinking!</p>

16

<p>At least you didn't think of "Asian Avenue"...</p>

17

<p>i need more feedback! what are my chances at getting into harvard, percentagewise</p>

18

19

<p>RELAX... you have about as much chance as anyone... and by some people's standards, you have more chances than quite a few</p>

20
