<p>I was wondering how much my stats would help/hurt me in admission? (schools in Boston and NYC, ex: tufts, Barnard, Columbia)
I'm a Hispanic, first generation (in country and in college), approx 25k income</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand your question, I don’t see any of your stats listed (eg. gpa, class rank, test scores).</p>
<p>I used the word stats incorrectly, forgive me I’m fairly new here!
I should say my basic… I don’t know how to phrase it, not qualities but aspects of my self? terrible wording. I’m sure there’s a proper word for it but it eludes me!</p>
<p>Do you mean your demographic information? Surely, it’ll help (if backed up by substance). But you seem to know that already by your use of the word “hook”.</p>
<p>“help with demographic information” never occured to me to be honest</p>
<p>Hi ankles,</p>
<p>Yes, those factors will work in your favor, but how much will depend on: the college, your academic and outside accomplishments, and other personal factors such as those described here:</p>

<p>Have you checked out QuestBridge? There’s a separate subforum for QB under the FA & Scholarships forum.</p>
