[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1988.  First generation, Latina.  3rd in my class of 250 students at a top Catholic high school in the Chicago area.  Took AP Exams in Spanish, Chemistry, and Biology, earned 5s on all of them.  Scored 1550/1600 on my SAT, and a 35/36 on my ACT.  I wanted to major in math or chemistry (and did).

My school's college adviser was a classmates' mother whom I only met with twice during my senior year.  And though I wanted to apply to Stanford, my immigrant parents would only allow me to apply to schools within driving distance of home.

I applied to the University of Illinois, the University of Chicago, and Notre Dame, and was admitted to all three.  I decided on Notre Dame because my twin sister chose the University of Chicago, and I did not want to attend the same school as her.

I graduated #1 in my Biochemistry major, and was admitted to every medical school to which I applied, including Duke, Johns Hopkins, the University of Chicago, and Yale.[/quote]

Wow. You’re a rockstar![/quote]
