Schools was alright. It had a magnet program where basically the 175 kids that were in it were considered a shoe in for 4 year universities. About 400 kidsin total went to a university with prob. 100 going to top ranked schools (UC’s and above). There are about 1300, yes 1300 in the graduating class. Sends a few grads to top schools
[1 to harvard, 2 to yale, 2 to stanford, 1 to mit, 1 to UPenn, 2 to U of Chicago, I think 1 to Columbia, 1 to Cornell ]</p>

<p>for hispanic so maybes
but if you werent minority, then no chance</p>

3

<p>*you’re hispanic</p>

<p>lololol</p>

4

<p>yeah the hispanic thing caught my eye</p>

<p>though i dunno, i’d say you’d possibly be in for all the things below Stanford and Harvard cuz of URM. Stanford and Harvard I would kinda doubt for the sake that they’re highly numbers oriented AND EC oriented.</p>

5

<p>I don’t think URM holds that much weight, so probably big reaches at the Ivies.</p>

6

<p>ah, thanks. yea the URM+first gen college student+low income thing is my saving grace. Sad but true.</p>

7

<p>URM. Period. But, remember. Low income will not be a factor since most of those colleges have need-blind acceptance.</p>

<p>Now, would you mind chancing me too? :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/595620-my-terrible-test-scores-what-my-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/595620-my-terrible-test-scores-what-my-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

8

<p>so your saying URM will get me into…?</p>

9

<p>ugg college :(</p>

10

<p>You have a good chance at all of them since you are a minority</p>

<p>NYU is a safety
Cornell is a match
The rest are reaches</p>

11

<p>Even Stern would be a safety?</p>

12

<p>good shot. with u being a URM, low income, first gen. person… u would have the equal chance of getting in with those other people who have higher GPAs than you, but are asian/white. my thoughts…</p>

<p>just raise the SAT? (didnt see that)</p>

13

<p>good shot at where?
hhaa. thanks.</p>

14

<p>now is the sat waiting game.
anyone else?</p>

15

<p>last bump? Just an overall on all the schools would be great.</p>

16
