<p>Letters of rec from my honors language arts and AP Euro teachers as well as one from the Superintendent of Schools </p>

<p>I wrote my Common App essay about my struggle to identify my self as someone who moved from Africa to the United states at the age of 5. My supplement was about how I got started listening to Metal. Both were read over by a current student at Yale and were apparently fantastic</p>

<p>I also started a small t-shirt company with a friend that managed to get pretty popular for a while (1700 likes on facebook) and we made a decent profit.
(I want to study business in the future!)</p>

<p>I know my grades are not competitive but I hope they wont kill my application</p>

<p>Good except for your GPA and ACT score. The fact that you are an immigrant from Africa gives you a huge advantage.</p>

<p>All good except GPA and ACT. I’m not sure if your subjective portion will be enough to compensate for the objective part, but you should be competitive at top 50 national universities.</p>

<p>I think your EC stuff and your story are really amazing. The only thing I’d be concerned about is your objectives( ACT + GPA).</p>
