<p>Thanks so much for all of the replies! It is so nice to have someone(s) help me with this :-)</p>
<p>Hmmm, I didn’t really think the Hispanic thing would affect my admissions too much - I guess it is because my town/city has (about) a 50% Hispanic and 50% white population, so I guess I don’t think of that as a minority. Well, I’m going to have to think about this one. I mean, yeah, I have a grandma who is 100% Hispanic. But it’s not like my home is very Hispanic at all - we are pretty “plain”. But then again I have friends who are 25% minority and have lifestyles similar to mine and identify as a minority, and it doesn’t seem odd. If someone was, for example, 25% Japanese, I wouldn’t hesitate to identify them as Japanese even though they are “mostly white”. So yeah, I guess I’ll have to talk to someone from admissions and my parents and decide for myself. Thanks for the info about that! Oh, and for the PSAT, I think I put white - not sure though. </p>
<p>About taking more CC classes - well, I would really like to, but I’m not sure how far to go. What I mean is that I really want to take at least one “real” course next year (I want to take something over the summer, too). Right now, I’m thinking about taking a 200-level Chemistry or Biology class in the fall. I think I will take the chem class because I have a good friend who is taking that class and could help me if (when!) I need it. However, those classes are offered (things change, but for the last two years) from 12:00 to 2:00 with a lab that goes till 5:00. This means that I would have to cut out three of my seven classes at my high school. </p>
<p>For next year, I’d be left with English (which I will get col cred for, even though our teacher is beyooonnd useless), Calculus, Spanish IIII, and Government (which is a semester class). Will this look bad? Will it look like I am not taking enough at my HS? Would they understand that I only had four HS classes because I had to fit a CC class into my schedule? I do know that a friend of mine (actually the previously-mentioned friend’s brother) got into UC Berkeley with a schedule like that. And as far as the price goes. . . well, as it happens, I get free tuition there because my mother works there 
But even if I didn’t I would still not hesitate to take classes there, if I had to. And hopefully I can take something over the summer - the only concern there is that I would be gone on vacation with my family.</p>
<p>Should I take the Spanish SAT test, also? My Spanish is faaaaar from perfect but I have been taking it for a few years now and I think I might be able to score well on that. I tried the practice test and it didn’t seem too hard. Does anyone know about how difficult it is?</p>
<p>And I will definitely look into those colleges and ones like it. I really would like to find a college that is somewhere I like, will offer me a good scholarship, and will get me into a med school (but wouldn’t everybody haha!). Thanks again everyone!</p>
