<p>You’re a minority? You’re practically in at UMiami and UF. You’re looking good for John Hopkins. Test scores could be a tad bit higher for the others. Though looking at your application holistically, I think you have a good chance for all of these schools. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back, if you will :)</p>

<p>Great rank, course rigor, and volunteer work. GPA is a bit weird, but all schools recalculate your GPA. ORM status will hurt, especially with your standardized test scores, but 1st generation will help. Not bunches of awards, but that’s ok. Try to retake the SAT/ACT again if possible. Essays and recs need to be awesome! Good luck :)</p>
