Yes, my mom has a BA in Business from the University of Texas, which she has never used. She went on a mission trip to Bolivia and met my dad, and stayed there until I was 4. Since then we have moved back and forth about every two years, with my mom working as a nurse in the hospital (got a nursing degree at a comm coll i think) and my dad has worked maintenance jobs at local businesses but is currently unemployed. Our income is about $30,000 /yr and we are a family of 10.

What is Questbridge? I got stuff from them in the mail but didn’t look into it much.

I go to a small school that only offers 1 AP course, I took that (AP E L&C) plus I attend a local math & science center for advanced students, and i am taking 3 AP classes there this year. Im also taking classes at the local community college.

Yes, I am marking AI as it said “All Original Peoples of the Americas” and my dad would be classified as that, but obviously marked no on the “enrolled” question of the commonapp. Also I marked Hispanic and South American. I did mark White because I thought it’d be dishonest not to, would it make them question my URM status?

nope, just UM. My reach schools are Yale, UChicago, Penn and Cornell. I have the Yale supplement essentially completed and was considering applying SCEA but figured my GPA was too low and decided to try to bump it up with first semester grades and apply RD.
