<p>lol thanks to mustafa for making me feel more safe at Yale and the other colleges. In reponse to the thread two replies before this comment, I must say, living in NYC actually impedes me from being able to gain awards in community service and whatnot, its actually outer towns where more individual attention can be given to sucessful and well rounded kids that they get all these awards. I think for my income bracket, I do have good EC’s because I’m not one of those rich kids who blew thousands of dollars for debate and robotics, I did good volunteering, know five languages, and my gpa (although above average in my schooll which is about 89) is pretty medicore, but I am a URM
Umm yea, going to Colombia and volunteering at a local working class-neighborhood/ slum doesn’t require much money, and no I didn’t get a scholarship…lol
Umm if anyone knows if I could do anything to get some kind of award or honor for what I’ve done please let me know but I really can’t think of much I just don’t wanna leave that section of the college application empty
I’m now reading 100 successful college application essays lol…I need to get tips and ideas and techniques to express myself.
I don’t think my chance for Yale is super low considering someone in my school got in with a 1930 on the sat (non minority) and another person made it with an 84 gpa (everyone else got in with a 93 gpa+ but hey, my gpa can improve.
PLease, comment comment comment =]</p>
