<p>I’ve lurked collegeconfidential for countless hours in high school and generally know which type of kids get into Hopkins. Also, I go to this school so I’d say you fit the bill pretty well.</p>
<p>what about me:
What are my chances of getting into UW, U of M, Harvy Mudd, UBC, Baylor, UC Berkeley, cornell, emory, UCLA, lehigh, brown,…etc?
How much does this help you get into college, I am hispanic female and i am applying to math/science programs. I know this is supposedly rare. How much does this help me? I come from a far from disadvantaged family. I have a 3.7 GPA uw and a 2150 SAT. What are some schools i should apply to? I also have a lot of ECs</p>

I was accepted to Baylor, and I have slightly lower stats than you, so you’re probably good. I know that a couple of kids were accepted to Brown last year, with pretty good stats (4.0, 2300+, lots of ecs). However, I think they opted for Yale instead? Unsure. But if you write a good essay, you’ll probably do fine. However, I’d say that ethnicity doesn’t play a really major role; lots of Hispanic women, all very intelligent go and are applying to prestigious schools for math/science. With your stats, though, I’s say UCLA, Emory, and Lehigh are probably guarantees. Best of luck, navigating the college apps!</p>
<p>Note to anyone asking about chances. It’s all a crapshoot. Anyone who tells you “you’re in, or you’re not” is lying. Don’t waste your time.</p>
