<p>To be honest, the fact that you’re both Hispanic and Sioux is a HUGE help, not to mention your perfect SATs and subjects and APs and class rank and all those nice things.
This is super impressive - hopefully your uniqueness comes out in your essay.</p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance at H and Y, solid chances at P, and a liiiiittle bit of a high match at S just because they might be more used to Latino (I hope I’m using that correctly) students.</p>

<p>don’t feed the ■■■■■.</p>

4

<p>Why even ask? Of course you can make it to anywhere.</p>

5

<p>■■■■■…</p>

6

<p>Did you really go to IMO with other super impressive achievements like SAT 2400, being a gymnast etc.? Even disregarding your other ECs, I wonder why AMC has not published your photo in the first page of your website!</p>

7

<p>The ■■■■■ has posted this thread before. Don’t feed it.</p>

8

<p>I smell ■■■■■ boogies.</p>

9

<p>I think you should probably look at community college since it doesn’t look like your ready for a 4-year university…I mean, you can just transfer after a year & get your grades/scores up! Good luck!</p>

<p>trollllllllllllllllll</p>

<p>you forgot to mention that you cured cancer</p>

<p>Hahaha, 20509591! Hispanic who did Korean for SAT II? I thought people were better at lying than this.</p>

<p>hahaha I love entertaining ■■■■■■. Although one is only partially entertaining, as it makes a few errors–depending on which state you live in, 20 AP exams isn’t really enough to be a State AP Scholar. At least, I don’t think. Not even if you have all 5’s.</p>

<p>The barbershop quartet was a nice touch, though; not something most ■■■■■■ include. :slight_smile: I always wished I were a guy so that I could sing barbershop.</p>

<p>@idontjoke - I wish I could “like” your post. CC needs to direct connect with FB.</p>

<p>Except, no. Because then people would know who I really am. o.O</p>
