Chance me

<p>Hello people!
I'm a first generation Chinese immigrant to the U.S.A.
I immigrated here three years ago, and yes, i still have some minor English problems. I'm fluent at mandarin chinese and understand all mandarin related dialect, that is, dialects of south and central china. I'm lucky that the INS just gave me citizenship like two months ago.
My family is improvised, therefore, money is not an issue cuz no matter what school i go to, my mom is not going to pay for it.</p>

<p>My essays are ok, and my recommendations are awesome.</p>

<p>^you are clearly disadvanteged by money and they will see that, but the admission's process disadvantages you because of your race, it'll be tough to get in, your ECs are not great, and your english is constrained, what is your SAT 1? 12/400 makes me believe that you have a chance.</p>

<p>FYI: when you say money is not an issue it's taken to be that paying is not a problem, i think you mean the opposite.</p>
