<p>You can get a good sense from the Common Data Set: <a href=“http://www.lclark.edu/livewhale/download/?id=4755[/url]”>http://www.lclark.edu/livewhale/download/?id=4755&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>First, race is very important in the admissions evaluation (good for you). Your CR and W scores are at the low end but your math is above the 75%ile. Good ECs but the GPA is just a little low. What is your class rank? Overall I think you have a shot. The question is what can your family afford?</p>
