Just for some additional informational, I’m also a 3-year varsity letterman for football and track, vice president of the Jewish heritage club (even though I’m not Jewish), I’m planning to create a club on gender equality heading into my junior year with a teacher already agreeing to sponsor it. - and I’m not sure if this will help but, I’m a mixed racial minority from Tunisia (Berber ethnicity mixed with both black and white) and I’ve lived in 6 different countries throughout my life and I have a very exotic/uncommon last name.
Maybe that might help me a lot, especially if I score well on my ACT/SAT. What are your general thoughts about me getting into the schools I listed, especially if the race part helps?
And by the way, excuse my long paragraph. I’m just trying to make my mom happy because she does so much for me and never received that good of an education from Tunisia. She also has anxiety, high blood pressure, and cries a lot because of her dad dying when she was young and it makes me want to please her as much as possible. I’m hoping to get into schools like UT austin, georgia tech and etc would make her very proud. She isnt strict about what college i go to and doesnt expect me to be ivy league material but getting into a top school that fits me well will make her very happy and at least slightly relieve her stress. But please be 100% honest and give your brutal opinion because I will greatly appreciate it.
