<p>Essays
Wrote the common app one about coming from underprivileged family and the problems I faced but still managed to reach the top of my class.</p>

<p>For the supplement I wrote about how I self studied for the AP Calc test and got a 5 per my teachers advice.</p>

<ul>
<li>Also this year my ACC trig teacher asked me to take the AB calc test, he has never asked anyone else to do this before so I was honored. I self studied and he sent me down to the calc room before the exam. I got a 5 on the test.*</li>
</ul>

<p>** My Trig and Gov teachers will give me amazing recs as will my counselor**</p>

<p>I come from an extremely low income family (Less than 10000 a year.) My parents are divorced and I live with my mom. I am a first generation college attendee.</p>

<p>You’re golden, dude. Chance threads are kind of stupid because nobody actually knows anything, but I would say Brown is a strong match for you.</p>

4

<p>Ps as someone who is actually Hispanic, it irks me a little bit that people who are less than half are able to check Hispanic on their applications.</p>

5

<p>I know its kind of dumb, but if I can take advantage of it why not. And I do actually embrace my hispanic heritage. Every Cinco de Mayo I go to my grandmas and make picadillo and we make tacitos all the time. Sometimes I speak to my grandma in spanish to help me practice. So its not like I’m not hispanic at all I just don’t look like it at all.</p>

6

<p>Oh well in that case, never mind! When you said that you didn’t identify, I thought you meant that you didn’t embrace your heritage or anything.</p>

7

<p>wow dude, im also hispanic and i went ed also, you blow me out of the water. ur amazing.
and i think your in.</p>

8

<p>wow thanks. I feel a lot stressed out now. Do you guys know if Brown “likes” hispanics, do they try to get more hispanics to come there?</p>

<p>Thanks again for all your comments</p>
