<p>Do you count as an international?
I know you guys are still a part of the US...but you guys are also independent....do you count as an international student? IF so...then you chances for all of them go down quite a bit...IF you don't then:
the first 2 are going to be real hard to get into (Yale and Cornell)
you go a decent-good shot at the rest....and its Ann ARBOR, not ann harbor...just letting ya know ;)...I know its odd...but don't misspell on an application...or it may look...not so smart...especially if it is UM Ann Arbor's application.</p>

<p>I believe that we count as a minority, am not sure if as internationals, but definitely as a minority (English is my second language).</p>

<p>I come from one of the most competitive schools in Puerto Rico. We usually send around 5-10 students to the Ivies and most competitive unis. each year. This is pretty impressive, considering that each class has around 100 students (Mine has only 96).</p>

<p>Thanks Hellomynameis! (sorry for the Harbor hahaha; thanks!)</p>

<p>I concur with hello's assessment. I'm not sure, but I think you guys count as minorities and NOT internationals because Puerto Ricans are US citizens, right?
If that's the case, you'll have a significant boost.</p>

<p>Yep, we are US citizens, so I believe we count as minorities.</p>
