<p>You're right, we do have similar stats. Luckily for you, you are Latino. And because of that, I'd say scholarships would be very possible. I have a Mexican friend with similar stats to yours (his were a bit better), and he got accepted to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. He ended up attending Yale for about $8,000 a year. All I can say is apply for all the scholarships you can, and let them know you are Latino. Good luck, and I hope to see you as a fellow freshman at Washington University!</p>
