<p>Looks pretty good especially with URM status. </p>

<p>All I can say is good luck, though.</p>

3

<p>Thanks very much! Good luck to you too!</p>

4

<p>Is she a full IB candidate? What were her IB scores/subjects for jr. year?</p>

5

<p>SCEA definitely won't take 12/3/05 scores so Math IIC score and 1 on AP (not this one as much if it was in 9th grade) might hurt alittle bit.</p>

<p>But as URM, good chance.</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

6

<p>just wondering- who is considered a URM? does it depend on the school?</p>

7

<p>I hope your daughter knows that you are posting her personal information on a public board like this.</p>

<p>If not...</p>

8

<p>gotta love the urm status. (not to say she isnt qualified without it)</p>
