<p>Sorry, in the campaign part it’s actually “my father’s senatorial race in which he was elected.” Sorry I’m a bad typer.</p>

3

<p>your father is a senator?</p>

4

<p>his dad is a senator in mexico i think…right?</p>

<p>Looks good to me! Are you doing SCEA, or RD? Would love to see you at Yale!</p>

<p>And I worked on the Presidential Election too, for Calderon! Actually flew down to Mexico City in June for some strategy meetings… were you PAN, PRD, or PRI?</p>

<p>Best,
DMW</p>

6

<p>actually dmw I am your rival from the PRI (insulted you actually thought I was from the PRD, haha). I am embarrassed for my candidate’s result (Madrazo only 22%), but I guess your party’s rough tactics for campaigning paid off to keep AMLO away from power (haha, even though we all know they truly werent clean, I must say neither are any party’s, so I shouldnt really be complaining). Well i guess now we’re buddies against those PRD nuts. Were did you work?</p>

<p>hahaha, I’ll PM you, or something. Don’t need this sprawling over the CC boards.</p>

<p>In any event, you’re looking good for Yale, in my opinion, though obviously no guarantees with any of these schools. Acceptance rates are too low for sure bets, sadly.</p>

<p>Best,
DMW</p>

<p>Sorry, I didnt mean to be sprawling, I just get a little excited over politics, haha. Meant no insult if that’s what you took it as. After all this is about chances. Thanks for your feedback</p>

9

<p>You have a great chance IMO.</p>

10

<p>Oh, please! CC is already overrun with pointless debates of US politics. Let’s not do Mexican politics too.</p>

<p>;-)</p>

11

<p>Why did you take an SAT II in your native language? It seems like a cop out to me.</p>

<p>I’d say everything else looks good. Good luck.</p>

12

<p>What else am I suposed to take for my third, haha. My other two still add up to a 1540 though</p>

13

<p>Ay, manito. Looks great!!!
Best wishes from a boricua!
Hope it’s Yale for you next year.</p>

14

<p>Thanks man, it would be great but what sucks is that I still have no idea of knowing if I get in anywhere it’s too unpredicatble</p>

15

<p>Ha, dmw, now I know who you are :)</p>

<p>Anyway, looks good, keep up the good work, hope to see you at Yale next year. </p>

<p>Just remember though…it’s a crapshoot, anything can happen.
(Pssh…LONG LIVE THE PARTY OF THE LEFT)</p>
