<p>I would definitely recommend getting those SAT I scores up to at least 2100+ and having 750+ on each of your SAT II tests. You have an excellent chance assuming those test scores due to your URM status and first generation status. With solid subjective aspects you have a good chance. Make sure to highlight your most important and passionate extracurriculars. Good luck!</p>
