<p>Excellent chances at all your schools. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>Looks like everything's there =). Just write well for your essays and best of luck!</p>

4

<p>hey flutterfly can i read ur essay?? :)</p>

5

<p>Honestly, who knows for sure with college apps, but your resume looks good.</p>

6

<p>Great chances. But "one about moving from India when I was 12... " << these essay topics tend to be one of those "overused" topics by immigrant applicants. Try to make it as unique as you can or else it might throw you off.</p>

7

<p>yeah i think mine has a unique perspective.. lol i couldn't really think of anything else big enough to write about...</p>

<p>anyone else wanna chance me?</p>

8

<p>i dont think u have as great a chance as you think. one of my best friends who is indian applied to stanford early with a 4.0 and 2400 and was rejected. The thing about indians and asians is that they are discriminated against in the admissions process because of how generic they are compared to each other.</p>

9

<p>ugh i hate that
aren't they supposed to NOT use race/ethnicity as an admissions factor?</p>

10

<p>They also have quotas they want to fill to appear to be a diverse college.</p>

11

<p>flutterfly_28, Private schools, like Stanford, UPenn, ect) DO discriminate against asian/indians for their race. However, UCs are NOT allowed to discriminate against based on ethnicity (This may be why schools like Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD have over 50% asian populations, and why private schools have so many "did not reports", lol)</p>

<p>Anyway, I think you have great chances everywhere. Just wondering, are you planning on going into business, and why do you want to go to Stanford so much? Because Stanford isn't really known for business.</p>

12

<p>i thought stanford had a really good business school...
and yes, they are allowed to discriminate and most do. it's called affirmative action. but ya, the UC's don't cuz it's against the law at public schools in cali.</p>

13

<p>yeah i'm not sure about what i want to major in
but it doesn't matter for stanford right now, right?</p>

14

<p>Yeah, that's the sad truth about America, white supremacy from 1776 to now. Although on the positive note, it's much more subtle, I think...</p>
