* An African-American's Chances</p>

<p>Lol... as a fellow indian, u cant speak sanskrit... there are multiple variations of one word in sanskrit... unless u closely follow the bhagvhat gita, and learn from a pundit the teachings of it and pronunciations of certain scriptures, its not classified as a pure tongue language... so u being "proficient" in it is like me saying "since im fluent in french, i know some italian, some spanish, and what the hey chuck in some european french dialect+ quebecois french"</p>

<p>thats just my opinion lol... or else id be able to write that in my app to... :P</p>

<p>good app, ur similar to me :P</p>

<p>except my research was all spent purely on neurosurgical medicine/ at least 1200 hours in operating theatres in 3 countries... so we should both be able to stack up.</p>

<p>Good Luck, make those essays concentrated on a passion.</p>

<p>Kampalaca, this is weird, I'm afro-asian too and have really similar stats too you, but I've always wondered (as there has been no clear answer) whether our mixed URM status would help...do you have any idea?</p>

<p>My friend who is half indian half black is only putting down that she's black on her college applications.</p>
