<p>Yeah, my mom’s from Argentina and my dad’s British. So I just look like anyone else really.</p>
<p>My circumstance is similar - my mom is Puerto Rican and my dad is of German decent - I am fair skinned, blonde, blue-eyed - just like my younger sister. My 2 brothers have the dark hair and dark eyes that my mother has. You really can’t judge people by how they look - that’s for sure!</p>
<p>well, if she gets in, every latin/hispanic group on campus will be contacting her and she’s going to have some real explaining to do.</p>
<p>To me a bigger/better question you might ask yourself is how are you friends with someone that would do something like this.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how much being URM influences Brown decisions?</p>
<p>
It’s like playing a varsity sport (and not being recruited). It’s just something that adds diversity.</p>
<p>does playing varsity sports( w/o getting recruited i mean) help with college admissions because im in 3 so i cant be in any clubs or anything and it seems that most people say that it is better to be in clubs than in sports if your not being recruited. I think thats complete bs though because being in a sport takes a lot of dedication and time while for most clubs ppl only meet like once a week or two weeks and dont even take it seriously.</p>
<p>3 varsity sports is freakin amazing…do not let anybody tell you otherwise</p>
<p>^^^at my school you were automatically on varsity if you were a senior, and many sports (such as football) were no-cut. sooo…</p>
<p>nevermind then</p>

It depends on how good your club team is. Usually, making your school’s varsity team is a bigger accomplishment. Honestly, I doubt colleges will care much. The only reason why doing a Varsity sport helps is because few other applicants to colleges like Brown, Harvard, etc. would have played sports in high school. The same is true for real work experience. Very few kids applying to Brown, Harvard, etc. would have real work experience.</p>
