A girl from Locke High School (middle of south central LA, about 10 mins. away from my house) got into Harvard, and even had an article written about her (I think Byerly posted it). Her SAT (old) was 1180, and she was a Mexican American. I believe her father couldn’t work because of a disability, so everything depended on her mother. That’s pretty much the gist of it.
