<p>Hooks- hispanic, increase of chances??</p>

<p>I have overall very good grades and consider myself to be a very well rounded kid. I have a personality and social life unlike most other academic achievers, which i believe sets me apart from the rest. How would i show this to colleges? And what colleges should i look to apply to? Which do i have a good shot at? Could i get into johns hopkins early decision?</p>

<p>See the Hispanic Students forum (under College Admissions, Speciality Topics) for information on scholarships, summer programs, diversity flyins, school selection, etc.</p>

<p>Not so much for Chances though.</p>

<p>First, relax. Then consider how far from home you want to be and what else you want in a school. Ursinus has a strong Science program and is overlooked by a lot of people Check them out. Use collegeboard.com to match your scores/gpa to schools and make sure you apply to a couple of reach schools but also to schools for which you are in the range. Start visiting schools as soon as you can. It will make it more real. Even if you visit a few near home that are convenient but not necessarily the ones you are interested in. You will learn from the visits what is important to you. Good luck.</p>
