<p>Hi guys so I'm a hispanic girl living on the East Coast going to a private school. I know this is a popular question BUT i want to go to elite schools like Georgetown and BC really badly and my GPA isn't as high as I think other applicant's are.
IS IT TRUE that being a URM is the equivalent of adding 200-300 points to your SATs, 0.3-0.4 on your unweighted GPA and having double legacy status? I read that somewhere and that sounds a little bit too good to be true.
I always hear "oh you're spanish? You'll have it easy." That confuses me so much, and I just want things to be cleared up.
Gracias!</p>
