<p>I don't have the long lists of awards and ECs like everyone else, but I'm pretty focused with research and have been very successful. I think my passion for science and the environment shines through my activities, which is different from other applicants. I left out some things that seemed unrelated, but whatever. Thanks.</p>

<p>I definitely think you are likely to get into one, because one you have good scores and two you are an URM.</p>

<p>Well, I mean I would want to get my pick of a school, rather than just one pick me up. Do I have a shot at more than 1 Ivy? I’m not planning on getting into HYP.</p>

<p>You’re a URM- and you DEFINITELY have a shot at HYP! Your test scores/GPA are definitely within their range and your ECs, while not hugely impressive, should be good enough along with your hook of being Hispanic.</p>
