<p>I am of Hispanic descent.</p>

<p>I will not be applying for financial aid (?).</p>

<p>slight reach to match. do well this semester and pull your gpa up.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think the previous poster was about right. I wouldn’t worry too much about your GPA, but I would take the SAT another time if you can. Your schools are probably OK, but another 20 points on Math and 30 on CR would move you from slight reach to low match.</p>
