I thought Emory has letter grades
How about Loyola, Creighton, Tulane?

Which community do you represent?

Which community do you represent?

Native American, I am officially enrolled with a card but am not pretending to have much involvement culturally.

Bummer.

Bummer.

Sorry, would you mind expanding on that?

Yes, a Native American with a commitment to service to his tribe/community is rare and special. Applicants with the appropriate % to have a card, not so much. You are still a good candidate, though. You stand a good chance at many of the schools listed.

Have you already applied? Are you applying this cycle? List is very top heavy but your stats are pretty good, ECs seem pretty solid, and I don't know how much the URM will help (I'm guessing at worst, it will help a little bit at best, *Congratulations! You have been accepted into the UCSF entering class of 2015!*)

Perhaps a few more schools like Miami Miller, Loyola, OUWB, Georgetown/GW/Jefferson instead of SUNY, Westchester, or Cooper.
