MITES 2010 Information & Discussion

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>For any of the hopefuls (like me) who can't wait to start applying.</p>

2

<p>Are asians eligible for MITES? We technically are minorities, but nobody has any sympathy for us :(</p>

3

<p>yes. asians are a minority. probably not in the engineering field. but i think you should still apply. </p>

<p>from what i’ve read in previous MITES threads, asians get accepted into the program as well (but they’re usually low income).</p>

4

<p>DEFINITELY apply. There’s no hurt in applying. Asians do get in though there were a grand total of 3 1/2 for MITES 09. (1/2 because one was half latino and half asian)
I applied thinking that I wouldn’t get in since I was asian but I did and MITES has been the best (thought not always) summer of my life :D</p>

5

<p>well I am a jamaican so that counts too right?</p>

6

<p>^Yep, Jamaican counts.</p>

7

<p>man when are they going to start sending out information. I am so pumped to apply.:):):)</p>

8

<p>Well the app is available in October. You need to send in the PSAT scores or sat. When do you think it’s a good time to send the app. The deadline in feb 1</p>

9

<p>I haven’t taken my PSAT or SAT yet, is that bad? I’m going to be a junior this year and want to apply for MITES! Can I still take them in time before app. deadline?</p>

10

12

<p>Rsi is way better</p>

13

<p>Nahh, MITES is definately better!(Although I would be thankful if I got accepted into either program) I wish ppl who attended MITES this year would share some stories for hopefulls. :slight_smile: I can’t believe I get to apply in only a few months, I have been waiting for this chance forever!!</p>

14

<p>Yea I was kidding mites seems so much better. Molly why do you want to do mites</p>

15

16

<p>Stop being lazy and go to the website. You can’t expect ppl to do all of your work. It’s not that hard: type in google mites program.</p>

17

<p>Sstewart- </p>

<p>Jamaicans aren’t really I minority persay. Minorities include African Americans native Americans and Hispanics. Idt jamaicans are considered Hispanic or African american. Asians are not considered minorities in college admissions</p>

18

<p>Jamaicans are still a minority. So are Eskimos, African Americans, and Asians. </p>

<p>Asians are just an “overrepresented” minority in college admissions. Caucasians still make up the majority.</p>
