<p>Do you mean Native American?</p>

<p>A Native American first generation student always has a chance...and if you can get recruited for basbeall, you're absolutely in. </p>

<p>Contact the baseball coach, make sure you mention your ethnicity. Even with a 3.4, I'd say you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>the coach won't take ethnicity into account, because the refs don't either :)
However, admissions will, so mention your ethnicity there. But the coach will argue for the top sports picks, and he doesn't care if they are all purple and from mars...</p>
