<p>okay.
so your biggest issues, in my opinion, are your test scores and your GPA.
HOWEVER, you are hispanic, which makes a HUGE difference. Your minority status really opens a lot of doors for you.
I think that you might run into some trouble, though, with Georgetown and Tufts (maybe) because they are really quite competitive.
I think that because you are a minority you have a really good chance of getting in to those schools, but to ensure it you should really look for some tutoring in your SATs and ACTs in order to bring them up.</p>
