3

<p>anybody!!! ahhhhh</p>

4

<p>Because of your URM status and being from Oklahoma, you have decent chances despite the ACT and unweighted GPA.</p>

5

<p>Stanford tennis team sure could use your help lol</p>

6

<p>haha… i really watched them this year, but i love how they have the top recruiting class of any college by far and still cant manage to pull it together like the old days. its sick, they had like the #1 and 2 in the nation last year and at least 5 from the top 50 players…</p>

<p>excuse my rant</p>

7

<p>seriously though…anyone?</p>

8

<p>

only three? and it’s a magnet school?</p>

<p>your URM status will only take you so far. it will definitely help you… retake your SATs/ACTs</p>

9

<p>You had me at Native American. I think that as long as you don’t murder anybody and don’t fail anything you’re good for those schools.</p>

10

<p>UGH. you’re native american. you could have like one ec and you’d still get in anywhere you want.
(well thats an exaggeration, but your chances are boosted up so much!
dang afffirmative action ><)</p>

11

<p>Thanks everybody…yeah i do want to get at least a 31 on the act. i think i can probably do it, hopefully in oct so i can have that sent for ed. but i am hoping for the best…i would love to try for stanford too but i know thats beyond possible! </p>

<p>yeah and it is a magnet school, but a lot of financially strapped kids. several taking advantage of the need-blind thing…</p>

<p>any feedback on taking classes concurrently at community college versus normal APs?</p>

12

<p>last bump…</p>

13

<p>what if someone was the same as the OP but was first generation instead of native american?</p>

14

<p>ED Dartmouth + Native American + Your stats ( Get that ACT to a 30+)= Thick envelope in the middle of December :)</p>
