<p>You’re in by a mile. Don’t sweat it. You may well get in with a bunch of $$$, too.</p>

<p>Honestly – and please, if U of Minn. is where you want to go, disregard what I’m saying – but you could get into a bunch of really, really elite schools given the great test scores and your ethnicity.</p>

<p>My GPA is what killed me in junior year. I got all B’s and a C for half a year. Thankfully pulled myself together. School changed the schedule couldn’t take the workload. Thought they would give less homework but gave a lot more. Anyway, thanks for the input any other thoughts?</p>

<p>The B’s and C did go on transcript as 1st semester grades. Also I’m planning on doing ChemE if that changes anything</p>

<p>I’m Indian as in from Asia, not American Indian.</p>
