<p>Us Nigerians are populous--I've concluded that Nigerians are the Jews of Africa, they're all over the place. (I even saw a Nigerian goat-slaughtering business in Ithaca, NY).</p>

<p>Black male from FL
SAT = 800M 730CR 630W
ACT = 31
GPA = 4.3 (weighted)
Possibly National Merit Finalist (PSAT = 212), pretty sure I'm National Achievement Finalist
A bunch of ECs including soccer and math competitions.</p>
<p>Pretty sure I'm applying ED to Harvard and RD to Columbia, Duke, MIT, UChicago, and etc.</p>
<p>nice you'll get in all of them warped Good way to not be a statistic</p>
<p>Yeah I sure hope so. Honestly I'm kind of split between Harvard, Columbia, and MIT. I'm really not sure about Columbia because I haven't been able to visit and learn much about it.</p>
<p>I'm going to take the SAT and ACT for a second time just because I might as well. I'm pretty sure I can get a 750+ on writing (depends on my essay really) and an 800 on critical reading soooooo...yeah. Besides it'd be so great if I got a 2400. I mean, how many black kids get that every year?</p>
