<p>Being a URM will help, but you really should get some higher test scores.</p>

<p>hmm…what kind of school do you go to and what’s your parents income level?</p>

<p>There was an urm graduate from my school in 2007 who got into brown with around a 1600; however, his EC’s were amazing (better than most poster’s on this forum probably), he was low income, and my school is outrageously horrible. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>its actually a really good public school and my parents make 300k+…lol does that hurt my chances alot?</p>

<p>The income won’t, but the “good school” might, it depends where you rank in your class. I would definitely try to raise your test scores, if possible, but that definitely isn’t the most important thing. Also, how much time have you devoted to your EC’s? You have some really great volunteering, but most of the time, Ivy League schools are looking for a lot of devotion and passion in a moderate number of activities, not a list of 20 things with only a year put into them. Good luck!!</p>

<p>holy moly you are rich. whats the use of going to a college? you can just inherit their wealth. haha.</p>

<p>300K+ a year sounds like a lot but it depends on where you live. 300K+ a year is living large in Oklahoma or Arkansas. 300K+ in Manhattan or San Francisco is ordinary middle class. In some neighborhoods, 300K is barely scraping by. LOL.</p>
