<p>3s in APs don't have anything of stellar.</p>
<p>fronzen tears, i hate to break it to you, but it does make a difference.</p>
<p>Even when your parents both went to universities and are medical physicians?</p>
<p>Strangely, it does. Up till a few years ago, U Mich was adding 20 points to an application regardless of wealth, just for race. Although they got sued for a quota system, such mindsets have not changed drastically. </p>
<p>Race plays a bigger role than income. I have anecdotal evidence for that, although that is not sufficient. By my experience, though, race will still make a huge difference in this applicant's chances.</p>
<p>Paco de Lucia:</p>
<p>For admision purpouses, a Mexican and a Mexican-American are regarded both as URM? Because I heard that a Mexican is regarded an International.</p>
<p>I would suspect that a Mexican is viewed as international.</p>
<p>I'd think so as well... my friend from Cameroon who I met at a local college was considered international.</p>
<p>URM = minority that is not asian. =(
Because asians are, unfortunately, not underrepresented. I think I heard somewhere that, while being black or hispanic might add 150 or 200 points to your SAT, being asian does the opposite of that. I don't know if its true or not...</p>
<p>being mexican american, puerto rican, or native american adds about 300 points to your sat. they are the least represented...</p>
<p>in fact, i'd say there are literally 5 to 10 ppl that are the above three groups that post here</p>
<p>sorry, that above sentence has grammar mistakes galore.</p>
<p>"Because asians are, unfortunately, not underrepresented. "</p>
<p>You got that right, according to an article I just read that asians make up 4% of the population while making up 14% of the Ivy league. </p>
