<p>thanks</p>
<p>UCs dont ask for recs</p>
<p>Match</p>
<p>damn i always post those recs. feel free to ignore those. my mistake</p>
<p>since your spanish...GOOD MATCH</p>
<p>unfortunately that is true, its an unspoken fact that hispanics have a much better chance over asians</p>
<p>yup...and i thought affirmative action was illegal...how does it still happen?</p>
<p>its sad cuz like 5 kids at my school that are Spanish with maybe UCI average stats got in...but they still deserve a lot of credit...im proud of myself for getting in as an asian</p>
<p>whatever
stop hating on the hispanics</p>
<p>AP Spanish and SAT II Spanish.... nice</p>
<p>You do know the UC's don't practice affirmative action, right? They're race-blind.</p>
<p>^^yea i know but it seems like they can still do it</p>
<p>whatever, lets not get this thread into a debate.</p>
<p>Affirmative action is banned in UC's. Being Hispanic will not help you get in, so stop fussing. Many private colleges still practice affirmative action. i.e Stanford.</p>
