<p>i think ur in at most...but can u put that GPA on a 4.0 scale..so i kno what were talkin about here</p>

3

<p>I think last time I had converted it was about 3.88</p>

4

<p>consider this: you will get in three quarters of ur schools, and get rejected from the others</p>

5

<p>Hmmmm, thanks for the input, but I merely put this up to see how people see me compared to where I got in, so with that said, of those listed above I applied to twelve and had gotten into all of them, namely: BC, Cornell, Dartmouth, Drew, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, MIT, Princeton, TCNJ, Tufts, Williams, and Yale</p>

<p>wow u go in to those schools with a 2000 SAt cool</p>

<p>Your stats aren't as good as I'd thought were necessary... to be honest, I hope it was because of good essays/recs and not your ethnicity, because that would stink me, because I can't learn from that =)</p>

<p>Could you share any advice for standing out as a "normal person" without the amazing hook?</p>

<p>CC has corrupted me. I saw hispanic and said aloud, "Oh what the hell are you worrying about". ~.~</p>

<p>Because the US population in a few decades is projected to be >1/3 Hispanic, is there any chance, in our children's life-time, that being Hispanic will no longer be a great advantage in college admissions? I sure hope there is!
I am a high school senior, white female with great GPA and test stats, but everything is a reach for me! I resent that I am born with a disadvantage (being white). So I approach this admission process with great anxiety. I can understand blacks falling under AA policies, because whites did some damage to them in this country in the past. But what have we done to Hispanics that they should have an advantage over us? Or, is the reason that a huge number of Hispanics drop out of high school, so that whoever continues to college is a prize for the colleges?</p>

<p>yeah you should be ashamed for being admitted to those schools with such stats. i'd keep my mouth shut if i were you. going around bragging about how many great schools you got into for being hispanic is definitely nothing to be proud off.</p>
