<p>It seems like you've really committed yourself to math and science, which definitely fits with your major. That shows colleges that you're serious about the major for which you are applying. It doesn't hurt that you're a Hispanic first-generation student. </p>

<p>I think that you can feel pretty confident about Boston University and NYU, but I know very little about either school. Carnegie Mellon and Cornell are going to be tougher, and I would still consider Stanford and Harvard to be reach schools.</p>

<p>Try to get your first-semester grades as high as possible for your senior year. That should help out a lot.</p>

<p>I'd appreciate it if you could chance me: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/593381-middlebury-hamilton-amherst-do-i-have-shot.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/593381-middlebury-hamilton-amherst-do-i-have-shot.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
