<p>non: it was because of 2 things: barely studying for the test and taking the actual course--something I should have never done because i didn't want to put in the time required to get a decent grade. lol</p>

<p>You being Hispanic helps so much it is unbelievable. My sister applied for colleges back in 1997 with a 2.8 and Hispanic. Got in to top schools like CWRU, RPI, CMU, UIUC due the fact she was Hispanic. Your good to go dude. Check out some higher end schools also.</p>

<p>any other opinions?</p>
