<p>I might be forgetting stuff, but that's what majorly stands out for me. If my essays kick ass, what are my chances?</p>

<p>And if I don't suppose having red hair helps me at all? heh....</p>

<p>I say you have good chances... I wonder why you declined to state your race, because I heard from my GCs that if you decline to state, they assume you are Caucasian...</p>

3

<p>great academics however the Ec's are a little lacking, get some more leadership positions and you got a great shot
im also interested in gtown and perhaps check out my stats and give your opinions?
thanks, and good luck!</p>

4

<p>I wonder if they facebook you to find out your race...Heard something about adcoms looking at myspace a while back.</p>

5

<p>would it hurt me not to put my race? im caucasian, so its not like it would help me at all...I hope that they search myspace profiles, because I quite frankly have nothing to hide, while perhaps more qualified kids also party hard. Fingers crossed, eh?</p>

<p>lol, i wish having red hair helped. it really should because i'm a red head too and we're very underrepresented.</p>
