<p>School: public; usually not competitive, however, I so happened to land in the ONE class that actually IS super competitive… Our top ten grade cut off is a higher gpa than what the Valedictorian usually has… Lol lucky me, huh? Besides that, my school is mostly white (66 percent), but we do have a decently high Latino rate (30 percent). Only 4 percent black though, and .1 percent Asian. I think 40% of our school is considered low income… Only 25 percent of our graduating classes go to 4 year colleges, and 49 percent go to 2 years… Our average SATs are pretty low… Either around the average or slightly lower. All in the 400s… Mid-high 400s. Other than that, I think that’s all I can tell you. Lmao. </p>

<p>Why MITES? It’s perfect for me… An entire summer, studying science and math… And it’s aimed for minorities… I’m a puerto Rican female looking to go into chemistry… I’m pretty minority And then, to make things better; it’s at MIT, which is where I want to go.</p>
