<p>A Hispanic person w/ a 33 ACT and rigorous courseload stands a good chance. However, there are no guarantees. A lot depends on your teacher/counselor recommendations and how you stack up against other minorities applying.</p>

<p>Best of luck, should you choose to apply.</p>

3

<p>Anyone else?</p>

4

<p>Definitley a strong applicant. Be sure to write a killer essay!</p>

5

<p>Yeah URM with decent academics and great leadership w/ ECs stand a solid shot at many top schools.</p>

6

<p>to be honest, your SATs aren’t really up to par with most of the ivys. luckily you do have great extracurriculars so a really great essay would definitely put you over the edge for some of the less competitive ivys like Upenn</p>

7

<p>your schedule is a little weak as are your SAT Your ECs, however, are excellent. Its a boost that your ACT is really good and youre an URM. I say you have fair chances at Cornell, Penn and maybe Brown but other ivys will be a bit of a reach, but wouldnt hurt to apply to them.
Chance me back please? :slight_smile:

<p>Thanks guys, what do you think if I manage to boost my SAT to over a 2200? And I’d still appreciate more input. =]</p>

9

<p>Boosting it to 2200+ would help, (the subjects are still a little low, though), but your EC’s look amazing xD
What’s your courseload for senior year?
Looks good, though, specially cause you’re an URM.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I really do appreciate this.</p>

<p>I would suggest taking Math Level II again, it’s not that hard to increase that score if you learn a couple of cool tricks.
Then you would have a great shot at Cornell and Brown I believe.</p>
