You're screwed. Schools can legally discriminate against people just because they're not a minority. You can be a better candidate than someone else in every single way except that you're not a minority and they'll take the minority over you. Unfortunately, that's just the way it works.

I know several people who are 1/8 minority and get a full ride scholarship just because of that. Some of their families are even rich, but that doesn't matter.

I'll accept it. On the other hand I come from an mid and upper class background that afforded to send generations of kids to such schools and allows me to be someone who has been well educated. The number of minorities who have this family lineage is going to be a minute percent.

If they accept more minorities because minorities traditionally have less money, then isn't this an economic issue? Can't you just give aid/acceptance based on how much money you actually have, rather than generalize and say this race has less money?

At the moment selecting a student body that is ethnically diverse correlates to financially motivated admissions. All schools should teach kids about different ethnic groups and have them live together, doing otherwise would be a disservice. Never do I say that economics is the only factor, but its a large enough one to merit selecting minorities before even considering the educational benefits for the ethnic majority.

Did you take the old SAT I? The 1600 one? Because the UCs don't accept that anymore, so that may be why you got rejected from UCLA. Cause even if you took SAT II Writing, they did change around the SAT I to make the math section harder and the critical reading more comprehensive.

The new 2400 one is bollocks. 4 hours. I have to take it in 2 weeks. -__-

, Stanford, - Wait list
Princeton, - Yes
Harvard, - Yes
Yale, - No
Cornell, - Ues
Brown, - Ues
UPenn, - Yes
Northwestern, - Yes
Vanderbilt. - Yes

If I call the waitlist right i want extra money

 

[KillerCharlie]

Quick question - how are you paying for college? If you need aid from the school then just getting accepted means nothing. For grad school I wanted to go to Stanford more than any other school. I got accepted, but unlike other engineering graduate programs where most students get full aid, most at Stanford don't get any and I had to decide that a Master's in engineering from anywhere is not worth $100,000 out-of-pocket.

Anyway, good luck

I'd rather be a California resident and white instead of an out-of-state minority, you'd stand a better chance.

I disagree; it would be better if I worked planting food or looking for renewable resources. Then I would make energy!

I will have at least 50-75% covered by wealthy grandparents, 10k in scholarship monies I've earned, and saved about 10k as well.

My goal is to also attend Princeton Grad school where i would qualify for a full-ride since I am an alumni of the AmeriCorps nation service program.

By the way, you applied to all of these? Isn't that almost $500 in application fees?

 

[rezinn]

I say rejected from every one. Waitlisted and not accepted is still rejected.

Yes, it was expensive. There are however, many people who's parents would pay 6 figures just to get their mediocre child into one of them, so I justify it as a small expense with a potentially lucrative payoff.
