Native American advantage?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey! So, I'm a junior at a public high school in Florida, and I was hoping a few questions could be answered!</p>

<p>Okayy, so here's some information about me..</p>

<p>Ethnicity: White/Native American (about 8% Cherokee without tribal number)
While I don't have a tribal number, I stay very close to my tribe. I attend local pow wows frequently.
GPA: 5.7/4.0
Rank: 7th out of 600
AP Human Geography: 3
AP World History: 4
SAT I: Writing: 670
Math: 650
Verbal: 610
SAT II: Chemistry: 800
U. S. History: 750
This year I am taking AP Chemistry, Calculus BC, U. S. History, and English Language.
I plan on majoring in chemistry in college.
I am an exceptional, if I may say so myself, pianist of ten years who has won several awards.
I recently quit gymnastics after ten years.
I have worked for Vision Works part time, ten hours per week, for the last four years.
I have over 75 community service hours at the local library.
I am confident that I will receive exceptional recommendations.</p>

<p>Overall, what are my chances of getting into to very top tear universities, particularly Dartmouth, and Harvard?</p>

<p>However, my major question is how being Native American will affect me. How much of an advantage, percent wise, would it help me if you had to guess? To what colleges would it be the most advantageous? Does it make me a likely admit? </p>

<p>Any and all help is very much so appreciated! Helpful websites are also!</p>

<p>I would say it helps a great deal for dartmouth, they love them some minorities, it almost makes it a match. Harvard on the other hand, not so much. Your SAT isn’t nearly up to par for Harvard, sorry if it comes off harsh, and your EC’s are not ‘incredible’.</p>

<p>It’s okay. No big deal. But, do you know of any other colleges that might look fondly upon being Native American?</p>
