<p>Question: How much pull does being a possible athlete bring?</p>

2

<p>If Brown wanted you as an athlete, they would have explicitly talked to you about the possibility of being recruited. Being a walk-on does nothing to help your chances.</p>

<p>Regardless, if you can rightfully claim yourself as a Native American, your stats will make a strong hooked candidate.</p>

3

<p>Forget athletics. Your Native American which gives you a huge boost! You’re probably in.</p>

4

<p>I don’t think being native American alone, will get me into an Ivy League university.</p>

5

<p>^Yes and that’s not what we are implying. Your resume is good enough (maybe not the ECs) for you to be considered regardless of your ethnicity, but it’s your URM status that really gives you a substantial edge over the competition.</p>

6

<p>Yes, if you are a genuine, registered with a tribe Native American, your chances are excellent. Also excellent as a recruited athlete. In the absence of those it’s a reach given average stats and ECs.</p>

7

<p>Ya, I’m genuine. I called my nation today about enrolling, so I should have my tribal card by the time I send in the common app. Anyone else have opinions?</p>
