Chance me for Northwestern (Engineering)?

[entomom]

<p>^

I was given a certificate by the National Hispanic Recognition Program

</p>

I have also written a few original, independent research papers in applied mathematics and economics. The ones I submitted are about a mathematical approach to speculative asset pricing in financial markets, and the other is information and control theory and derives a mathematical definition of risk and rationality (along with a lot of other stuff). I did this stuff alone (idk if that helps).

<p>How much weight your research papers will carry will depend on if/where they are published. It’s best if they’re in a peer reviewed journal.</p>

<p>I don’t do Chances, but I will say that it does help to be Hispanic and interested in Engineering, as Hispanics have relatively low representation in this field.</p>

<p>See post #2 of this thread for some comments on factors are looked at in college admissions for Hispanic students:</p>
