crs1909: Thanks for the info! Yeah I hope it’s just that minorities don’t really rush for Greek life, and not that they aren’t accepted into the “higher” sororities.

verdricity: For Emory and Bowdoin, I need to choose which one to put higher up, because I plan on doing Questbridge, and since I made it into the College Scholarship, I think I’ll be able to become a National Merit SemiFinalist as well. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself.
So I have to choose between Emory and Bowdoin against Vandy, since Vandy is not a partner college. I really love all 3 schools and can see myself fitting in at them, but I just don’t know which one I would be happiest at.
I guess I am “gaming” the admissions process? I feel that I might have a chance to get into these colleges if I ED, as opposed to if I do regular. I wouldn’t want to lose my chances of getting into these schools because I wasn’t sure of which of these 3 schools I would want to go to. I know I would be happy going to any of the 3 schools. I think my chances of admission would be hurt if I do regular.
Financial Aid isn’t really my concern. If I get matched for Questbridge, then I’m set! And I hear Vandy has pretty good FA. And from my background, I believe I would be getting a lot of FA. So not too worried about that, but again, I really hope I didn’t jinx myself. ;(
