Yes and yes. URM and the chance for them to check off Nevada on the class map. Both good things for you! Good luck!

ya.. if you applied math and science academy, the acceptance rate is like 100/900ish.. 30 soph and 70 junior.. then if you apply the other programs through diversity (AP/EA, gaming, arch, design) it was like a couple people (2-3?)who got in each program

oh, and i got waitlisted, i found out in like mid-may, and then got fully rejected during track state.. so like 2nd week of june?

Hmm, as long as we're evaluating diversity, how would an Asian applying under the humanities and social sciences branch look?

Bah.

I suppose I'm paying for the sins of my forefathers, but it seems unusually difficult to be an all-American WASP male college applicant these days.

Lori1122: wow...i see. that's pretty tough! i wish i had applied through diversity but i didn't knew it existed until after i got accepted lol.

likeatuesday: idk CMU has a lot of asians as it is. no matter where you apply i would think there are a good number of asians applying.

dude_guy : did you go? and pay the 6 grand?

yeah, i got in through the precollege way. It was definitely expensive and the airfare (I live in Guam) wasn't cheap either. My parents agreed to pay the tuiton while I pay the airfare. I would have applied through the diversity program but i just didn't know it existed at the time. But anyways, the program was definitely awesome.
