<p>Grades are really good, with a bit higher SAT, I’d say you have strong chances at Brown. Oh yeah, I’d want to remove the tennis and baseball. It may add diversity to your application, but it won’t show commitment to the sport.</p>

3

<p>Thanks for the input; yeah, I’m hoping for at least a 2250 on the October SAT. And I was thinking the same thing about the sports but our baseball team won national championships while I was the bullpen catcher (lol) so I might have to leave that in.</p>

4

<p>Are you a National Hispanic Scholar?</p>

5

<p>I’m not sure redroses but I got a 222 on the psat.</p>

6

<p>bumpity 10</p>

7

<p>The issue is, did you check the Hispanic box on the SAT?</p>

8

<p>Yes I did 10char</p>

9

<p>Bumpbumpbump</p>

10

<p>Whaddya call a kangaroo who loves soup? … A MORESOUPIAL :slight_smile: bump</p>

11

<p>Another shameless bump</p>

12

<p>Hispanic+2200+3.97=in at Brown ED</p>

13

<p>lol Could it really be that simple? Thanks</p>

14

<p>It’s true. I’d give you a minimum 85% chance of getting into any of these schools with ED.</p>

15

<p>Wow, thanks! Brown is my dream school so that is great to hear</p>

16

<p>your hispanic so it should be no problem. schools often look at race and ethnicity over grades</p>

17

<p>Colleges consider race over intelligence any day. Because you lack the latter, you may be fine because you’re Hispanic.</p>

18

<p>Um…what enables you to say that? Thanks for the chance, though. I guess.</p>

19

<p>It was more of a ■■■■■ post and wasn’t sincere. I’m sorry. I just hate affirmative action and how people can get in solely because of their race. You’re a good student, you’ll do fine. What type of medicine intrigues you?</p>

<p>I’m sure a lot of URMs don’t get into a school SOLELY because of their race; there must be some other factor to put them over the top. But yeah it’s unfair.</p>
