<p>@bostonmompie:
This question may sound harsh, but it is sincere:</p>

<pre><code> Is there a reason he’s not posting this request himself?

<p>b-mom: SE+Continental Asian is generally not considered a URM by any college. While your S might add to their diversity, URM he is not.</p>

<p>Hooks: URM, Athlete
Ethnicity: Half-indonesian, half-chinese</p>

<p>Athlete: is he being recruited by a coach?</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>@jpm50 haha, my son is quite shy and currently away on a service trip. So I decided to take the initiative for him :slight_smile:
@bluebayou Oh sorry! I am so new to this, I thought we would qualify for the URM. He looking to be recruited by a wrestling coast but it’s still up in the air.</p>

<p>Can anyone please chance my S? Or post stats! I am very worried. :frowning: </p>

<p>b-mom:</p>

<p>I understand the stress. Many of us have been there. But there is no way anyone can really estimate chances, since we are not adcoms. Your S has the numbers to be competitive, which you probably already know. But recs also count, and we have no way of knowing how good they are: (rec: “student walks on water”, or “needs floaties in a baby pool”? Essays also count, including the supplemental.</p>

<p>Hang in there. Hopefully he’ll receive a fat envelope in a couple of weeks. (BC is worth the wait, IMO.)</p>

<p>@‌bluebayou </p>

<p>thank you so much for your response. I guess we’ll both have to wait… Definitely an anxious time for us all :blush: </p>
