<p>I'm bilingual, and I'm also 100% Mexican, I don't really know how much ethnicity plays but I've heard it's very little. </p>
<p>By the time I leave high school I'll have taken 10 AP classes. </p>
<p>Please be honest, about my chances so far. I'm freaking out about this. </p>
<p>Ethnicity definately does help... a good bit.</p>
<p>We can't really chance you until you get a bit older. Btw, do well enough on SAT/ACT and get all As, and the upper level schools won't be too angry about first three semesters, though it would have been better to get As.</p>
<p>I've always been told that they only really look at your sophomore and junior year.
I'm already planning on buying my SAT books so that I can start studying now.</p>
<p>If you're wondering on HPYS, then you're a bit late in the process. Most people are either looking into them when they're at a much younger age or after they see how well they do on the SAT/ACT. You can't really dictate from 9th and 10th grade credentials.</p>
<p>My counselors have told me I have a good resume so far to apply but maybe that's just because their job is to encourage me and not to tell me the truth so much. I have fallback schools too but those would be the schools I'd want to go to.</p>
