<p>hahahaha......uh NO!!</p>

<p>well you are technically a MINORITY....but you aren't very UNDERREPRESENTED....are you??</p>

<p>lol how many brown ppl do you see in math/science/technology??</p>

<p>no chance for me?</p>

<p>You definitely have a chance. I would say just apply, worst case scenario you don't get in. A couple asian people got in this year, so MITES isn't closed to asians or anything like that. Check out the MITES 2008 thread.</p>

<p>By the way, that original poster who was told he/she had no chance was admitted.</p>

<p>^I'm with rosee. Definitely apply, and even if you don't get it, you may get an awesome weekend at MIT for the junior fly-in : ) Don't count yourself out.</p>

<p>i bet those asians that get accepted are either first generation college students or their parents run under-the-table businesses so they can say that they have zero income and are really poor.</p>

<p>if you look at the op of that other thread, their family income was less than $50,000...</p>

<p>not trying to shoot you down, apply if you want....but i'm just trying to be realistic/practical. asians are not URMs by virtue of the fact that they're asian.</p>
