<p>“It’s true that many Asians get rejected nowadays with perfect scores, but that’s because they have nothing special.”</p>
<p>I saw many white applicants WITHOUT perfect scores and WITHOUT anything special got into top colleges.</p>

You got nothing special and you do not have perfect scores.
But, you have better chances because of your race.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I lost all hope there. And does it help if my english teacher is also writing about how I came back after my grandfather and best friend died during my 11th grade exams? To sum it up, if I really pour my heart into my essay and if I get really good recs, I still have a chance?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot everyone. Got some really good advice here. My 12th grade finals are in 12 days 
Wish me luck :)</p>
