With a 2400 and being Hispanic, I wouldn’t sweat it tbh

OP, did your adoptive parents not attend college? Hispanic will be viewed within the opportunities given. So a Hispanic low income first generation college student will be viewed differently from a Hispanic high income student.

Wow, so you are saying being adopted will be an advantage for you? Please don’t be an applicant that is trying to get by from softening the admissions. There is kids homeless that work hard and don’t even say in there app they are homeless. I am sorry I seem a bit harsh on this but I heard this before many times and it bugs me.
