Egyptian thread..?

<p>At some point of my college search/selection/admission process, i thought I was THE only Egyptian/Arab around here, but I came across one or two of my kind, and it felt so awesome to know that I am going to meet people 5000 miles away when we actually lived 30 mins apart.. :D
Anywho, if there are any Egyptians/arabs/middle easterns around here, hit me up, tell me your story.
I am an Egyptian girl coming from a public school & a low-income family. I applied to MIT, uPenn, mount Holyoke, Drexel and st.john's.
I got accepted to Drexel and st.johns & waitlisted @ mt.Holyoke
