<p>I am a minority student with great extracurricular"s and GPA but avg. SAT scores.
Which of these is the easiest one to get in ?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>If I were you, I would compare your grades to the reported middle 50% and take a look at their admission rates.</p>

3

<p>NYU and Boston are the easiest.
Cornell and UC berkeley are harder
The rest are really hard
(I don’t know much about the UK schools though)</p>

<p>Thanks For reply,</p>

<p>Do u know which of these are more likely to accept minorities.?
I am not gonna for financial aid ? Will that be a factor in these universities. If yes, Then which ones?
thanks</p>

<p>Thank You Mate…
What about Brown and Columbia ?</p>

<p>NYU doesn’t give out much FA to anyone. Most of the schools listed give out great financial aid however.
As a URM (not asian, just native americans hispancis and blacks) your chances of getting into any of those colleges is significantly greater than a white or asian counterpart. That being said, if you don’t have much a profile for the Ivy’s you won’t get accepted. What was your SAT and GPA?</p>

7

<p>1800 and GPA 3.9 , approx 4.0</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity , my great - grandfather is from Spain and he moved to India ( Asian Country ) and chose to become a Sikh .
What should I point out my background is ??
White or Asian ??</p>

8

<p>White…he is technically white. Anyways, that doesn’t make you a URM so it makes it that much harder to get into most of those schools you mentioned, especially with the average SAT score.</p>

9

<p>I’m sorry but with an 1800 on the SAT none of these universities will be easy to get into.
These are ALL reach schools for you. Look at collegeboard.com and see the average SATS and you’ll see you’re way below.</p>

<p>You should still apply to some of these schools, but you need match schools. Try penn state or Syracuse. These are great schools that you have a real shot of getting into.</p>

10

<p>NYU probably.</p>

11

<p>Actually, Spanish heritage goes under latino as well. I believe on the common application it says “Hispanic (Including Spain)”</p>

12

<p>No offense, but with a 1800 SAT, most, if not all, of those schools are high reaches. Hispanic is a hook but its not good enough to get you in with a 1800, unless you have some impressive ECs. I would suggest retaking the SAT if possible.</p>

13

<p>NYU and BU are the only plausible choices with an 1800. URM (if you are) does help, but it won’t make up for low scores.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>While it is correct that a background from Spain is included under Hispanic, that is not the ONLY criteria that is necessary in order to mark Hispanic for college admissions purposes. The OP, and anyone else who wants to know how ethnicity is determined for college admissions, should read the first post of the Definition sticky thread on the Hispanic Student forum (under Specialty Topics).</p>

<p>Did you write gce a levels? What are your grades? You need it for the uk schools</p>

16

<p>Naaa… Not applying to the UK ones !</p>

17

<p>naa… not gonna apply in UK</p>

18

<p>Also, I am good at basketball and Done community service like teaching kids in poor skoolls… and you know the drill … ?</p>

<p>Wich colleges are gonna look over my SAT scores with well that.</p>

19

<p>No college will “over-look” you SAT scores. I think your perception on college admissions is very misconstrued.</p>

<p>Look at colleges that are within your SAT range and your extracurriculars will ADD to that.</p>

<p>FYI, a lot of students go to the ivies with 1700 - 1900 scores !</p>
