<p>Brown likes diversity and creativity, so write good essays and you’re in. Wharton values business activities and entrepreneurship, so I’d say a probably rejection there… Same at Stanford, though if you’re from CA I guess that helps a bit(: Harvard and Yale are just sporadic in their admissions… But as a high-scoring, low-income URM, you have a great shot. Dartmouth is likely, as is Columbia. However, Duke’s more likely. I’d suggest applying ED to a school that you love and that you KNOW will pay all of your expenses if you’re accepted (most Ivy League schools and some others), that way your chances go up, you’d be somewhere you love, and it’d be free. Very strong chances across the board(:</p>
<p>I’m Mexican-American as well As stated above by dblazer, being Hispanic with those stats is going to do you well. In all honesty, I see you being accepted into all those schools. Good luck though :D</p>
