<p>EDIT: oops...i need to learn how to read.... i saw that as "African American Studies" for some reason.</p>

<p>aaaaanyway....</p>

<p>i think u need to take the SAT again, you can't bank on being a URM. You won't get to put down all those ECs on the app which is a good thing because being a member of so many clubs looks pretty silly honestly.</p>

<p>They are more lenient on SAT scores for black minorities (which in retrospect is a bad thing in my opinion) but I would definitely take it again. Anything less than 2100 and you're flying on a hope and a prayer imo.</p>

<p>Yeah I think I'll take it again...and thanks about the advice about all the EC's</p>

<p>Right. Depth > Breadth. They'd rather take someone who had led a club, and accomplished a lot of things within one particular area of strong interest, than they would someone who's "been there" for a bunch of different things but can't point to any difference they've made (in themselves or for others) as a result of that membership.</p>

<p>really good shot- some nice ec's</p>
