I seen some of them firefighters and volunteers and some looked foreign to me.
I don’t want them foreigners doin dangerous, hot volunteer work in terrible conditions that Americans could do.

Proper racial profiling would infer that the volunteers are native born Americans, not immoral illegal aliens. As immoral illegal aliens want everything given to them, like citizenship, they won’t volunteer to do anything for anyone.

Mexicans are still angry at Americans for stealing their land, so they send their losers north to re-inhabit their lost territories. Washington retaliates by sending them our jobs. Now Obama wants to, literally, give away the farm. His immigration policies reflect just that.

Most Mexican immigrants are failures in their home countries, because they are lazy and look for the easy way. Their homelands are filled with factory jobs that had once been held by Americans on US soil. They enter the US illegally, because entering the US legally requires some effort and they want the easy way. They don’t value education and, consequently, neither do their children. Many look to crime instead of work that requires education and training. After all. they’re looking for the easy way.

Now Obama wants to pave the easy way for these people by giving them a free ride. More of the easy way.

My friend is a junior in high school and he is was just wondering if he has any shot at getting into his dream school. Here are his stats:
High school WGPA: 3.4 ( Its extremely bad and he is worried that this will kill his chances)
SAT I : 2300 +
SAT II : Math II – 700 + Physics – 700+
Captain of the Debate team at his school (Ranked in the top ten debaters in the State)
Has been playing the violin for 8 years. Performed in Belgium and France. Also performed in the Lincoln Center
Volunteers at Nursing Home: 150 hours +
Volunteers at Hospital: 100 hours +
Did a research project with an engineering professor at Auburn University (got his recommendation)
He is expecting to have great recommendations from his teachers and a recommendation from a congressman.
And his uncle went to UPenn if that counts for anything.
He wants to apply to CAS. Because he thinks he’ll have no chance if he applies for engineering.
Ethnicity : Indian Male

Please give some feedback on what u think his chances are. And give him some advice. Thanks in advance
Additional info: Apparently one of the top students in his grade is also applying and her gpa is wayyy better than his. And she has tons of ECs. and she has a ton of legacy at Penn. Shes also applying ED from his school. Will this ruin his chances?

He also has Columbia ED or Cornell ED in mind. Do u think he has a shot at one of those?

Frankly, he’s right to be worried about his GPA, especially if he hasn’t been taking the toughest courses available to him (it’s still not good if he has, but it does balance things out a little bit). He needs to do everything in his power to get that up the first half of senior year. And unless the congressman knows him personally, I wouldn’t count on that recommendation making much of a difference. Instead, he should probably talk to his professor buddy at Auburn and see if he knows anyone at Penn who can put in a good word for him, ’cause a champion on the inside would help. Other than that, all he can really do is put together the most compelling application possible, and make sure he’s got some backups he likes lined up just in case. And no, I don’t think his chances are any better at Cornell or Columbia. (In fact, they’re probably worse at Columbia; they tend to care more about stats.)

Even though the GPA is kind of bad, I think you still have a shot

Schools: UPenn CAS (Early Decision option), Columbia, Cornell (Early Decision option), Carnegie Mellon, NYU Stern (Early Decision option)

IF U DONT THINK ILL GET INTO ANY OF THESE SCHOOLS THEN ATLEAST TELL ME WHICH ONE OF MY ED OPTIONS SEEMS THE MOST PRACTICLE.

Thanks!!!

Your low GPA kills your chances for elite schools, and being Asian is equivalent to losing ~75 points on your SAT.

You should aim for schools at the next level down from the elites. Consider schools such as:

Colgate U
U of Rochester
Rose-Hulman Institute
Bucknell U
Georgia Tech
Lehigh
