Hey guys, I’m a newbie to collegeconfidential (well, posting anyway). I was just wondering if I qualify as a Hispanic applicant if my maternal grandmother’s family is from Puerto Rico. I am a first-generation American on the other side (father born in Israel). What do you think?
<p>Hm, well I'm no expert, but I think with an Israelian father and Puerto Rican mother you will definitely get some diversity points. Welcome to CC!</p>
<p>As far as I know, you don't have to prove a ethnic affliation. If you are comfortable claiming it in person, I'd say that you can claim it on the form.</p>
<p>u will get some diversity points definetly</p>
<p>Lucky you. I hate being Asian. Actually I don't, but I do when it somes to college admissions.</p>
<p>same, being asian is bad for college admissions.... oh well, </p>
<p>Would absolutely LOVE to get into brown, but... hmm, idk. here's my FAQ:</p>
<p>new SATs 2400
PSATs National merit finalist
president of key
secretary of honor society
softball captain
science team captain and going to nationals! whoo hoo<< go us!!</p>
<p>yeah... RAWR GRR want to get in, but we will see.</p>
<p>btw, i'm a HS sophomore in senior year, so i might repeat everything again... just for the heck of it and better chance to get into early program. hmm... idk. i have 4.0 unweighted GPA, 6 and 7s on all IB exams (from freshman year taking them) and this year i just finsihed taking them again, hoping to have all 7s!!! and we will see... college next year? maybe.... undecided. so far stanford accepts, yale accepts, harvard's waiting list, and brown is "undecided"... so we will wait. if not, maybe one more year until i feel good and ready! and i'm 16... so idk</p>
<p>what do you think?? THANKS!!!!!!! :):):) do you think i'm CRAZY?? haha j/k</p>
<p>Hmm... it's late right now, and I feel like starting trouble...</p>
<p>Confusedaboutcollegegirl, have you been accepted to those colleges yet? If so, congrats. I'd say, don't attend any one of those schools if you're hot so that the party guys don't 'accidentally' hit on an underaged girl. You'll be doing us all a favor. =)</p>
