<p>Please? Anyone?</p>

<p>I think Georgetown is definitely a safe math. HYPS are reaches for anyone but you're a good candidate. Same with Columbia and Brown. You definitely have a lot of great ECs. The fact that you're a URM might help you.</p>

<p>Thanks. Any other thoughts???</p>

<p>you seem like a strong candidate....continue doing good at school and be consistent with your ECs and you'll be fine</p>

<p>Really good candidate. Stay away from the West coast, even if you get accepted they are too far. Planty of good schools in the East. You'll get into many fine schools. Try to apply to a couple lower tier 1 schools and go for tuition assistance unless your parents are wealthy and don't care. And definetly markthat you are hispanic in all your applications.</p>

<p>I would be extremely surprised if you didn't get into most, if not all, of the schools on your list. Great job!</p>
