<p>Im going to make this as quick and painless as possible:</p>
<p>sat: 2190 (780C 670M 740W)
act: 32
black, female, southern state, rural public school
rank: 1/323, 4.1?? (most demanding course load)
decent EC's w/ leadership pos.
3 year research project (ISEF, some conferences)
i speak 3.5 languages (mandarin = .5)
nat'l merit semifinalist</p>
<p>schools:
Yale EA
columbia
Wash U (st.l)
U Wash (seattle)
tufts
johns hopkins
(some safties)</p>
<p>what are my chances w/ these SAT's???</p>
<p>If you don't get in everywhere, I'd be surprised. Good luck!</p>
<p>SATs are a bit low, hope that AA kicks in for you.</p>
<p>valedictorian URM with high test scores...why do you even bother to post on here...you're depressing those of us who are screwed over by Aff Action</p>
<p>But anyway, you have excellent chances and I too would be surprised if you were rejected from any school.</p>
<p>In at all. Affirmative action for the win.</p>
<p>ok yea, AA is on ur side, lets move on</p>
<p>I wouldn't say in for the ivies though. I'd say moderate -> high reach still just because they're like that for everyone</p>
<p>AA is different, with a near 2200 SAT and VALEDICTORIAN for a BLACK FEMALE, ivies look like a short step away.</p>
<p>I know, but I even doubt THAT much power of AA</p>
<p>black valedictorians are rare (no offense), that alone would draw the college's attention, plus a decent 2200, decent ECs, and national merit semi, very good chance. 40-50%</p>
<p>Yeah you're in everywhere because you're black.</p>
<p>Death to Affirmative Action!!!</p>

<p>You will end up being accepted to places you didn't even apply to. :P</p>
<p>i agree with gryffon, to hell with AA</p>
<p>This isn't the place for a debate on AA, but AA should be based on income level (I feel). </p>
<p>In response to your insensitive post Evil Dictator, you are evil because you are asian.</p>
<p>makes me wish i was a URM...sigh</p>

Will they change it back to black instead of african-american?</p>

<p>dude good question. what if i was born in africa but immigrated to america but i was white. would that mean i can check african american?</p>
<p>What about a black person from Canada? What if your aunt was a MAN? 14086, it must be tough not being a URM, but you must fight onwards. Let freedom ring!</p>
