I am Cherokee Indian, and I want to know just how far affirmitive action will take me. My top choice is USC, but due to Dartmouth’s and other IVY’s affiliation with Native American scholers, I might have a slim chance. I know my stats are no where near IVY level, but if you could chance me that would be great. Thanks!
