<p>ivay. im nto conceited at all.so i guess i have to be the man here. I am retaking the SATS in january and i know i will do much better. I also have many aspects about myself that i didnt put in my chance thread including my essay (quite good from my readers opinions). i am not an adcom and neither are you. SO lets put this matter behind us. agreed?</p>
<p>and your comennt ndn**** is racist, ndn means indian so if your cursing all 1 billion + indians, than not even the best sat scores can help you</p>
<p>wow both of you...I wouldn't say either is racist, but both of you are trying to read how race is considered by adcoms...incorrectly
otherwise, neither of you have a good chance, I don't know why ivay posted a chance thread for "second opinions" only to yell at anyone who gave him an honest one. Just because you are a slightly stronger applicant than ndn (which may not be the case--I haven't looked at his), doesn't mean you are strong enough to get in...or even close.
and from what i know, being a great athlete doesn't mean too much unless you are recruited to that school... are you? do they even have men's volleyball?</p>
<p>ivay... my best friend also played in the junior olympics for volleyball. He had a 2320 SAT, 4.4 GPA, lots of impressive activities, was recruited as a volleyball player at Stanford, but was rejected EA. </p>
<p>...SO I dont know if you can call stanford a back up school.</p>
<p>But then again he was white and I dont know how great his essays or recs were. But still I dont think your URM status would make a Huge difference.</p>
