<p>Sorry, I was just being lazy and the posts were getting longer and loonger and looonger… thought it would be easier if we updated every couple of new posts.</p>
<p>Me:
“Yale EA accepted with majors of political science and economics
Stats:
1580
1/300
770, 760, 800
ECs: Many, All State Viola, drama, voted most friendly, VP of LET (Latino Engineers of Tomorrow)
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Hook: My own stats!”</p>
<p>Zantedeschia:
"And URM… "</p>
<p>Me again:
Zant, what the hell is your problem? I mean, you can be bitter about getting deferred by Princeton, but don’t take it out on me. I don’t like affirmative action any more than you do…and I hate it when people say I got in because of it.</p>
<p>I was valedictorian, I had YOUR SAT Score, and I had SAT IIs all over 750. I’m not some 900 illiterate compadre, and neither am I a 1250 decent student who got in. For crying out loud, I got a 1580.</p>
<p>Zant, I know you are well liked at these forums, but try to keep my POV in mind too. I worked my ass of for this, and I did not get in with lower standards!"</p>
<p>Geez calm down! I’m definitely not saying that you only got in because of URM or that you didn’t work hard and deserve it. I’m just saying that your real hook would be considered URM and not your stats, because in that case, I would have a hook and I obviously don’t. </p>
<p>I’m not really bitter about my deferral anymore, and I’m really happy for your getting in! I would be mad if you were a “900 illiterate compadre” who obviously didn’t deserve it but I think you absolutely do! Just comparatively though…this is a good case of something like, two people like you and me have the same stats and one person gets an extra push because of race. It’s not like you chose to be who you are and I’m not mad at you for it, but it’s something that matters in terms of college admission.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m sorry I got you so mad, that definitely was not my intention.</p>
<p>DanRod-Why did you post your stats in this thread anyway?</p>

<p>Lots of people have stats just like yours that get rejected or deferred from HYPS. Although they are truly excellent, your stats are not your hook. Your URM status is. Again, being a URM says nothing about your stats. It merely says that having such stats and being a URM is a very, very rare combination. No one is saying you got in with “lower standards”. I would just say that rather than your “specialness” (which every successful applicant needs)having to come from truly great essays, superlative teacher recommendations, or superior talents in a particular field, these additional, usually very important criterea may have been glossed over because you are a URM.</p>
<p>You may have every piece to the puzzle. You might be truly gifted in a particular field, and you may have done extensive work in it. You might have had teacher recommendations that said you could win the Nobel Prize. You might have had essays that made the admissions officers laugh, cry, and feel what you were feeling when you wrote them. And I won’t make a judgment on any of that, because I don’t have the information. But I can say that because of your URM status, you don’t necessarily need that stuff. Very high stats alone will cut it.</p>
<p>And if you need any verificiation for this … you can take a look at “A is for Admission”, or any of the other books written by former admissions officers. They will explain the minority admissions process in great detail.</p>
<p>Just as Zante said, if you and her were being compared, and you are a minority candidate, you get the tip over her. Zante would have to show unusual academic curiosity, extreme dedication to a particular pursuit, or have some other “tip” factor working for her to get admitted when being compared to you. Yale does not take Caucasian or Asian kids by virtue of their stats.</p>
<p>But a URM with your stats will ALWAYS be accepted to HYPS/Ivy League unless there are signs of intolerance, bigotry or arrogance, disciplinary/honor code problems, or negative recommendations. If you completely blow off an application, they probably won’t admit you either, knowing that you’re not serious about the school.</p>
<p>But anyway, the most highly selective colleges fight over the small number of qualified minority candidates. You are one of them. And no college wants their minority numbers to go down.</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>hi,</p>
<p>i just wante to know what URM was?</p>
<p>under-represented minority.</p>
<p>remove no 34, I didnt get my app in, in time :(</p>
<p>too bad you missed the deadline
you would have had a fair shot of getting in…
i just realized sthg about number 34 tho
there are only 38 people in your school?</p>
<p>*in a grade probably. I know a couple of schools with only 40 people or less. Usually small privates/parochials.</p>
