<p>ur hispanicy is gonna get u in anywhere, especially with ur qualifications</p>

<p>thanks for helping me out. So being hispanic really helps you out in the ives or any college? plus, even if I was not hispanic, are my qualifications comparable or good enough for those schools?</p>

4

<p>lol is one of your ECs really 'mariachi?' That's awesome.</p>

5

<p>hahaha..yeah I live near the border so like the mexican heritage is still much alive and our school has a mariachi which competes against many other regional school mariachis. Is that good? ...like can it help me out in the applications?</p>

<p>Your ECs, SATIIs and GPA are killer. SATIs are fine, but lower than I would have expected for someone with those qualifications...However, the SATI is particularly culturally and socioeconomically biased...</p>

<p>You're a lock for 99.9% of the schools in the country.</p>

<p>Your GPA is fantastic, but your SAT I will keep you out of the top schools. You have marginally good chances for lower Ivies. I too am Hispanic and found that AA doesn't help us all that much.</p>
