<p>I am latino (fine halfie lol), and I want to get into the fisher program in management and technology. I am going to be a senior next year in Odessa, TX.</p>

<p>MY stats:
GPA 4.0
SAT 2310 (740 Math, 770 Verbal, 800 Writing, 800 Math 2C, 780 Physics)
Rank: 3 of 250 (school doesn’t rank though)
No AP’s so far, although next semester I’ll be taking AP BC Calc and AP Physics, which I’m sure I’ll do quite fine in. (Oh, I guess I took AP Lit this semester, and I’m sure I did fine, but I hear that’s not terrible useful??)
My school doesn’t offer many AP’s…only honors.</p>

<p>EC:
An editor of school yearbook
An editor of a school journal
About 60 hours of community service, and I’ll have 100 next semester (working for a community service law program through my school)
Helped start a philosophy club
Involved in the math club (some competitions and whatnot)
NHS (who isn’t)
Worked on the stage crew for my school’s philothespic productions
Worked community service over the summer</p>

<p>Oh I should be national merit (216 on PSAT), and my school gave me a math/science scholarship (merely a dent though!). They’ve also recognized me for excellence in physics.</p>

<p>This summer I got accepted into two programs, one being a chemistry program at UT Dallas, and another being a program with NASA. Both are paid for in full by the state (government? lol).</p>

<p>I have job experience as a soccer referee.</p>

<p>I’ve taken all of the hardest classes available, and I’m sure my recs will be really good.</p>

<p>Do you guys think I can do it??? I don’t know how selective the M&T program is but I saw it on the application (lol, I know, I start early) and it sounds like a box worth checking!</p>

<p>I'd say you have a shot.</p>

<p>Personally, *IF he got in, it would be because he's hispanic. No offense frazzle.</p>

<p>This program is pretty similar to the Harvards, Princetons, and MITs, etc of the world in that its pretty unpredictable. </p>

<p>I will tell you that I had a 2280, with 3 800 SAT IIs and 3 5's on APs and was not accepted into the program, though I was accepted into engineering. </p>

<p>So basically my point is that while you certainly have great stats, and are certainly capable of getting into the program, it is never easy.</p>
