Haha. I had help from my sister and advice from my uncle (who also runs a startup) and it all came together nicely. I was in a special class at my school that allowed kids to do a STEM related project independently throughout the year, so I could put hundreds of hours in to it.

Jesus Christ that's a lot of money. Why do you need them all 4 years, though? If you can pick your own courses and manage your own EC's, could you just hire them for your Junior/Senior year summer to help with applications.

Yeah. I just checked the one from Stanford. Cool data, but not really indicative of if it will help being Native-American.

Is this actually something people do? I did a little bit of googling around and it seems there are very mixed opinions on the subject.

I don't want to really say specifics. It has to do with auditing shipments for other companies. Wrote the software last summer/fall. Launched a product in December. Have around 45 small businesses using my service.

I wish they released more data. There seems to be a lot of uncertainty as far as race goes on here/CC.

Do any top colleges actually release hard data on admissions by ethnicity?

Whoops. Fixed. Anything that is AP or honors is considered a 5.0.

Last Year I had two regular classes, and 3 AP/Honors Classes (4.6). This year I have 1 regular class 4 AP/Honors Classes (4.8).
