<p>Yes, I'll definitely apply for financial aid, since my family is low-income.</p>
<p>Maybe you can be like Seabiscuit out of the movie; every time the horse stares at his competitor he gets angry, and then finishes him off.
And speaking of law, I was invited to serve in a Chinese family law firm this summer, but I have no interest in law and as such passed it up for a jazz improv camp, something in which I am far more interested. The top thing would have been Sen Lin Hu (one of the Concordia Language Villages) if I had not missed the deadline.</p>
<p>The ones at my school are in the top 10% Yeah, when weighted, my G.P.A. makes me the Asian val. The sal. is Caucasian, but so is almost everyone else who holds the top 10 ranks.</p>
<p>Oh, and Olive_Tree, maybe you can get some scholarships by searching on <a href="http://www.fastweb.com%5B/url%5D">www.fastweb.com</a> It's a really good search engine; you won't get any scams, and all it takes is writing several essays and perhaps you'll get a lot of college cash. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Maybe I will do that, kman!</p>
<p>I don't think there are many Hispanic students in my school that are in the top 10. In my grade, I'm either the only one or one of a very few.</p>
<p>That makes you... a special ray of sunshine!!!</p>
<p>My grandmother was of pure Spanish blood. But that doesn't make me Hispanic. It makes me a Mestiza Filipina, which is a nice term used by the old ladies at church to mean "Bastard Child". My dad's white, so that adds to it. </p>
<p>Hey, if you're of two races, do you have to check off the one that you look like? I mean, I look Asian. I've always been Asian. But my dad is white. So can I just check myself off as white? Would that benefit me?</p>
<p>check off "bastard"</p>
<p>Excellent option. Then they'll pity me. By the way, I was the product of an affair.</p>
<p>yay for being an accident</p>
<p>A nerdy accident!</p>
<p>hey, watch it. lablondie has things</p>
<p>R_V, you can just check off both...not that doing so does anything; in fact only checking off Asian may hurt you. That said, I will check off both my black and white heritage in admissions provided no slot exists for 'mulatto'. (Of course, that nearly makes me a Brazilian.)</p>
<p>mulatto is a funny word
no offense</p>
<p>so is spork... and sewp</p>
<p>Brazillian? Then that must mean you're really gorgeous! I thought you were Chinese...</p>
<p>When my school does standardized testing, you can only pick one ethnicity. So my parents told me to check off Asian, because "I'm a minority". Well, that is not going to give me an advantage, is it?! </p>
<p>But when I apply for college, I'll check off both. Thanks!</p>
<p>Or, I could file for emancipation, get one of my Hispanic friend's parents to adopt me, and it'll be all good. We can forge all the papers. I look the part. I can speak the part. But of course, that simply can't be done.</p>
<p>i like bobert</p>
<p>Still, Bobert reminds me of something crude.</p>
<p>that's because bobert is something crude</p>
<p>i'm sure lablondie likes my name. she has to</p>
<p>I, for one, have never heard of that name.</p>
