<p>No. 10char</p>

<p>If you hit at least 31 on your ACTs, most likely in/low reach, considering you wrote steller essays. </p>

<p>I’d like to see more ECs, however. (In terms of long term things.)</p>

<p>I’d say you have a decent shot. Good luck!</p>

<p>whats 10char? And will being Jewish help me or not?</p>

<p>

No, being Jewish will not help you.</p>

<p>^ why not 10char</p>

<p>murd3r, do i have a decent shot with my current stats?</p>

<p>“^ why not 10char”</p>

<p>Because they don’t care if you are jewish or not, because they are a catholic school, because being jewish doesn’t make you any more capable, because they suspect your going to enroll at Brandies anyway.</p>

<p>sry i ment what is 10char</p>

<p>10char is a remembrance of a former CC user who committed suicide after being rejected to all schools applied. Pretty sad moment.</p>

<p>^ Whaaaat? Lol 10char is what you right when you’re trying to get the “10” required "char"acters to leave a post.</p>

<p>[ sigh ]</p>

<p>They didn’t have that rule before. But after that certain CCer died, they started to implement the rule to commemorate.</p>

<p>I just used 10char coal briquettes to cook my hot dogs. They were tasty.</p>

<p>It might help you if you effectively demonstrate how your ethnic background shaped your determination and academic success in your essay.</p>

<p>That’s about it though considering that you don’t belong to an under-represented ethnic minority.</p>

<p>should i even mention that im jewish,??? (my mom is jewish and my dad catholic) i go to church more than temple</p>

<p>Really wouldn’t serve a point.</p>

<p>Unless being Jewish has put you in some sort of disadvantage in life (ex: discrimination, people making fun of you, etc) and that has changed your life or made you see life differently … then that will help you. Being Jewish doesn’t really signify much in college admissions. Unless you are a URM and Jewish, then you got something there. </p>

<p>Essentially, you can’t just pin all your hopes of acceptance on just your being Jewish.</p>
