<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

<p>[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[li] **State or Country: Washington, DC (?????Silver Spring, anyone heard of the place), Greatest Place on Earth, My home sweet home, Mi Kassa[/li][li] **School Type, Average Stats of School (if available): Very Public, 91% minority , Average SAT: 840, Failing but trying hard to improve[/li][li] **Ethnicity:Afro American [/li][li] **Income Bracket:0-20,000: 15,200 to be exact (cough.... with my support....DAMN YOU GIANT FOR LAYING OFF MY FATHER!!!!!!!) from now on we only shop at better places like shoppers and safeway, since Giant wants to be a complete asss. [/li][li] **Gender:Alpha Male[/li][li] **Hooks:Changed my life around (??cliche??) from street kid to school kid. Worked to support family, living in a mean public housing facility, seen it all from stabbings to drugs, had to hustle on streetcorners as a kid to make money to get by, just a whole lot of urban poverty related misfortunes, but i tried to play it down because i dont wanna be a charity case, Won Prestigious NIH Research Positon (declined MITES to attend summer portion, but didnt tell them i declined MITES??? maybe i should have), College courses</p>[/li]
<p>[<em>] **Strengths/Weaknesses*: Low SATs, they didnt get a chance to see me smash the WorldHist SAT, my essay was more personal and less of the creative witty thing, Grades not to hot (but all of my B's were in 9th grade, with a 4.0 in 11th grade with an eye-poping (well maybe not) 9 ap classes (lunch time and afterschool independent study that went on my transcript)), I got 2 B's this quarter, No real sports besides the summer league and a couple of JV's in the 9/10, Only one or two president/captain, no national level thingys, GODDDD i feel like im going to make it one day, then i regresss, *</em>*FF!!!!!!, a lot of things like that, You know how you go into a test feel good, then you come out and are like mentally fighting yourself over "did i do this" "did i have that", just like that. Im not top ranked despite a not so awesome kid. </p>
<p>[li] Why you think you will be accepted/deferred/denied:Because i like scrambled eggs with ketchup and barbecue???? well maybe because i come on the CC boards and procrastinate, while my homework piles up. Naw but really i think its because my EC's are not so hot and my scores are a little low, plus i wasnt really organized(?) and i didnt get a chance to say everything i wanted to my interviewer but i did have a good interview. [/li][/ul]Other Factors: I dont know, im about to sleep?????</p>
<p>General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I know that they already made their decisions but whatever i hear on DEC14 ill be happy and move on since i really want to go to Columbia if not Harvard since I absolutely love Harlem. And i just wanna say !!!!!!!!!!!!!FUERZA LATINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sike im playing Apfreak i love you man - no homo - im biting my niles anxiously with you man.</p>
