<p>I think that I am WAY below Yale’s standards BUT I think I’ve succesfully conveyed to my colleges that I’m no person of means, luck, or opportunity. But I’ve still done okay (1860 SAT, 3.5 GPA, mediocre, etc.) but (so far) I got into</p>
<p>Boston University
Boston College
Cornell University (Likely Letter)</p>
<p>If those schools accepted me (I know they’re on pretty distant levels), do you believe there’s some chance Yale might also?</p>
<p>wow did you have a lot of ecs or something or some type of hook. Congrats though on getting into those schools</p>
<p>No. No EC’s at all, except a job senior year. I think the hook is we’re broke, I live in the hood, and I’m a minority. I guess I gave an excuse for my lack of prowess in my esssay and they felt it.</p>
<p>But thanks. Glad someone appreciates it.
Hold up, dominikid, you dominican? Hooooo!! Me too!! (sorry, I’m just not used to seeing Dominicans express interest in college)</p>
<p>haha yea im dominican and puertorican and im pretty broke and live in a bad neighborhood too</p>
<p>and i know what you mean about dominicans and colleges most of my cousins dropped out of high school and no one in my family has gone to college</p>
