O.K, WITH ALL THIS IN MIND WHERE CAN I GET INTO?
DOES IT HELP TO BE A MINORITY? I'M HISPANIC.
THANK YOU.</p>
<p>i dont even know anything about engineering grad programs, but i still know that youre getting in everywhere. great GPA, great ECs, plus youre hispanic. i dont see why they wouldnt want you.</p>
<p>you could probably get more help by posting in each college's forum on this site.</p>
<p>It's grad school, so nothing's certain. Your stats are good, your GPA is good... Being a minority doesn't particularly help at this stage in the game. You've got a really good chance, though. Did you want to go to grad school for your masters or your PhD?</p>
<p>I'm going to grad school for my master's degree. Oh!!! and also, one thing that i didn't mention is that i'm not requesting financial aid. i know that if you request financial aid is harder to get acceptance into the school.</p>
<p>UCs got rid of affirmative action a long time ago, so being Hispanic doesn't really matter. Still, your stats are good and I think you have a pretty good shot everywhere.</p>
<p>haha typical engineer...ALL CAPS!</p>
