That means they won't say "oh he did really good for his / her race let's let them in", but considering the aim of the program is specifically for underrepresented groups of people and my personal experience and inquiries, you probably won't get in.

I know exactly my problem was, I was not showing effort; I was doing great on tests but my class work and or my homework showed piss poor effort. I was going to minimum too, I should go above and beyond this year
Even if that was the case I bet at least one teacher would be willing to write a letter saying "he's really great but didn't live up to his potential" or whatever. Do you have any problems with attitude or participation in addition to this stuff?
