<p>It’s all moot until the OP gets a green card I think. As an international the current grades/GPA are a stretch, Hispanic or not, for most of the colleges on the list plus the OP is implying that full pay is not an option. If the OP wants to head to college right after high school, definitely have the GC “investigate” the UF rejection although it’s possible the OP was classified as an international.</p>
