<p>Being Hispanic should help considerably. If you get the math and reading up on your SAT you are looking ok. You seem to be well rounded and this is important. You look to be going for alot of SAT II’s. One or two are a plus, beyond that I don’t think it will make a really big difference.Spend more time preparing for the regular SAT. My children (both Hispanic) are having a great experience at Vandy. Good luck!</p>
