<p>Please tell me what you think my chances are.</p>

<p>I am also disabled and I'm not sure if Portuguese (1% of Americans, qualifies as URM)</p>

<p>Also, I can't find the portfolio reqs for NYU, Drexel, or Loyola. Do they have any?</p>

<p>I actually did just get a rejection letter in my email for manuscript #1</p>

<p>You have an amazing GPA, but your SAT is very low. If you bumped it up a few hundred points, you could definitely get into top-30 universities.</p>

<p>Drexel: low match
Loyola Marymount: mid match
Emerson: high match (I’ve visited, it’s a beautiful and creative school)
Chapman: high match
NYU: low reach
USC: mid reach</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>The U of URM means that a group is underrepresented in US colleges relative to their abundance in the general population. So while people of Portuguese descent may be a minority in the general population, their representation in college is not significantly lower.</p>

<p>Also, Portuguese background is not considered Hispanic in any definition used in college admissions/scholarships/programs.</p>

<p>I always do bad on ST tests because I guess on a bunch (esp. math) simply because I need more time.</p>
