<p>Teacher Recs:
1 from Math Teacher who i've T.Aed for for 3 Years.
1 from AP Stat teacher.
1 from English Teacher to off set poor english scores (A-'s and 28 on Reading).
All know me on a personal level. </p>

<p>My strengths are in math and I plan to show that as much as posible. In my essay for the common app, I am going to write about Baseball. Basically, I was the team leader in average freshman year in baseball and then the following year I didn't practice for tryouts because I thought I was a sure make. I ended up doing poorly and got cut. The following year I came out and made varsity as a junior and had the highest scores in the tryouts. So I'll talk about how it was an eye opening experience and that I can't take anything for granted etc. Is this a good topic?</p>

<p>edit: no sats i thought i saw sat but it wss sat II. still though you have a huge amount of EC’s and are a legacy to two of the big three … idk if that affects your “ethnicity” consideration, but either way im thinking all of them?:D</p>

<p>no offense but you are hispanic with 2300 sats</p>

<p>that alone should get you in:)</p>

<p>i think im a long shot at H or S considering they prob have better hispanic candidates.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how much being hispanic will help my application if a white person had the same stats and EC’s as me? Is it a small percentage increase or large?</p>
