<p>Religion has no role in a public U’s selection process. Being an URM does, so yes, being Hispanic helps. Your proposed major doesn’t matter, either. Your EC’s do not hinder you, a lack would as most UW accepted students will have found time for them along with getting good grades. Concentrate on doing your best work in class and on AP exams to have the best academic credentials you can. This will help you have the best foundation for any college and improving grades do matter. You not only want to be accepted, you want to do well in college so learning the most you can in HS is best.</p>
