<p>Depends on what you define as good.</p>

3

<p>like University Of Texas Austin & Ivy League Schools</p>

<p>Hmm. Definetly UT! As for Ivy Leagues? Probably Cornell. You might want to centralize your EC’s on one passion. They’re a bit scattered and it’s hard to tell where your interests lie. Otherwise, keep up that good GPA and do amazing on your standardized tests! You have a great chance! Best of luck.</p>

5

<p>Take and do great on the SAT, ACT, SATII</p>

<p>Work on national awards. </p>

<p>Try to add a leadership position.</p>

<p>Do something astounding over the summer…</p>

<p>See the Hispanic Students subforum for much good information on college admissions, scholarships, fly-ins, etc.</p>

7

<p>How you do on your standardized tests will determine if you have a legitimate chance at Ivy’s.</p>

8

<p>You need to be top 8% to get into UT. If you do really well on your PSAT this year you have a shot at some good scholarships at other schools.</p>
