<p>Are you a U.S. citizen? You definitely have the upper hand because of your race, but I don’t know if citizenship will be a major factor or not. Your GPA is low and your ACT is a little low, though good enough to withstand. Extracurriculurs look good.</p>

<p>Look, your scores are low, as is your GPA, but as wizkid94 said, you’ll have a much better chance because of your URM status. If you weren’t a URM, I’d say no way, but as you are, you have a shot…</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I am a citizen. Also. How big of a role does the interview play?</p>

5

<p>Thanks guys. Btw. I am a citizen</p>

<p>Usually the interview is but a minor factor, but if it goes really well or really badly, then it might be a deciding factor.</p>

<p>Btw. I have a book published on kindle. Will that help?</p>

8

<p>Yes. What is it about?</p>

9

<p>Its a cram guide for the ap us history exam. Sold 20 copies so far</p>

<p>Cool. For curiosity’s sake, do you have a link to it? If you don’t want to show it for privacy concerns, I understand.</p>
