<p>2260/2300SS? Black male? In at almost all!</p>

6

<p>i dont understand how a 2300 = high match for schools like a & m. i say your in at all, maybe a rejection from stanford. but if you dont mind answering this, why do are you applying to a&m and not ut?</p>

7

<p>^ What Castel said. Hell, I say go for the ivies.</p>

<p>P.S. Miles Davis <3</p>

8

<p>stanford is a high reach. also surprised you're not applying to vanderbilt given the uga and emory thing. </p>

<ul>
<li>uga honors is a maybe. obviously uga isn't.</li>
</ul>

9

<p>Your thread name is extremely un-funny...</p>

10

<p>I'm applying to Texas A&M over UT because of their National Merit/Achievement scholarship package. As for why not Vanderbilt...well, it's in Nashville (not that there is anything wrong with it)</p>

11

<p>Not funny.</p>

12

<p>oh ok i see now. if money is a factor, then i recommend that you apply to rice. it's a great school and gives very generous merit aid.</p>

13

<p>Honestly, you going to anything less than top notch schools like Ivies is a waste of time and money.</p>

14

<p>great chances, but your title is not funny. However it did catch my attention.</p>

15

<p>chance me for ASU also</p>

16

<p>your in at asu</p>
