<p>BUMP!!! write any thoughs pleasee!! :D</p>

<p>You’re a bit arrogant to be entirely honest. Hopefully you don’t evoke that image in your essays.</p>

4

<p>Are you going to apply for financIal aid?</p>

5

<p>

lol true</p>

<p>Idk, seems like you’re banking on the being hispanic hook and it might be enough.</p>

<p>i didnt meant to be arrogant!! sorry but I just wanted to put it all without restricting myself… yes i will apply for full aid by brother is in college so i need it! i will aplly early decision too so I hope it boosts my chances. do you think i have chances of getting in?</p>

<p>I ask if you are applying for aid because it is much harder for international applicants applying for financial aid to get into u.s schools- especially those like you who basically need a full ride. Regardless of whether you get in or not, you very likely will not get that much aid- financial aid for international students is much much smaller than for u.s students and usually the best international applicants get good aid. You need to look into other u.s schools
That are lower tiered and where you may get some considerable merit scholarships and/or need based aid.</p>

<p>But by all means, definitely apply to the schools above, you undeniably have a shot in getting, albeit a fairly long shot, and you may end up getting great aid. Good luck to you.</p>

8

<p>Seconding the arrogant thing- I’m sure that you can get A+'s in the Harvard Secondary school stuff just by “planning” to do so.</p>

9

<p>Don’t see it happening for any of them. Even if you are hispanic, your test scores are low, very few ecs and no major awards</p>

10

<p>Being Hispanic is not a “hook” unless you are a domestic applicant. You are just another international applicant, and I would imagine that’s it’s just as competitive.</p>

11

<p>You “plan” to do a lot.</p>

<p>Can anyone verify this? I assumed any minority applicant would have that hook, but I would be interested to learn if that’s true only for domestic applicants.</p>
