<p>Sr. Armadillo –</p>
<p>There really aren’t any schools for which you are a statistical non-starter. </p>
<p>As to the Hispanic issue, that is both a cultural and genetic question. You are genetically 25% Hispanic, and it sounds like the culture around your home and school is 50%+ hispanic. It’s a judgement call, but you have every legitimate justification to identify your blood and culture as hispanic on the college application.</p>
<p>This is not a trivial issue… most of the schools that would admit you to help fill their “Hispanic Bucket” would likely not accept you in the “average white applicant Bucket”. It’s a HUGE difference in admissions.</p>
