3

<p>NeU and BU are the most matchable schools as of now</p>

4

<p>yeah you’re prob in at BU and northeastern. not in at Tufts and prob not a NYU but a decent shot at GWU</p>

5

<p>can you chance me too? EA at notreD/BC/Umich/UIUC Oh and can you also tell me how to link? thx</p>

6

<p>Thanks for the quick feedback. Tsh are you talking about how to get all your ECs, SATs up here? I just pulled it off of one of my brag sheets and modified it slightly. But you can also make a profile on the site and then copy it into a post.</p>

7

<p>no I mean the thread title…some people have the title linked to the page so others can access it right then you know?</p>

8

<p>uhh, not sure how thats done. sry</p>

<p>Anyone know how much minority status is worth (I’m Asian American)</p>

<p>Also, I know schools try to get students that come from a desired geographical area, does anyone know of any good WC colleges that are otherwise reach for me, but would be easier for me to get in because of my ethnicity/geo? (Interested in Business, but still UD)</p>

9

<p>being asian american actually kills your chances…</p>

10

<p>Oh really? why is that?</p>

11

<p>because there are too many super smart asians…</p>

12

<p>haha, every single school up there pretty much has under 15% Asian/Pacific Islander for their entire student body. These grades might not qualify me to join the upper echelon of “super smart asians” but it don’t think it discredits me to put that I am asian american, nor does it lower my chances to getting into a college.</p>
