<p>Hello everyone. I know that my chances of getting in are extremely slim, but I would really like to hear some of your opinions. Thank you in advance to anyone who comments and provides feedback.</p>
<p>I am a Latino male (first generation American, second generation immigrant), and I will be applying Early Action.
If this helps at all, my father did not attend college and my mother attended college in Brazil.
Cumulative GPA out of 4: 3.722*
*My highschool is very rigorous and I came from a very weak public middle school, so my freshman year GPA was a 3.49.
My school does not offer a class rank</p>
<p>SAT I- 2340 M- 780 W- 800 (80 grammar 11 essay) R- 760 single sitting
SAT II- Math 2c 790 Spanish- 750 (Spanish is not my first language, nor is it spoken in my household) Physics- plan to take in November and rush it in for early action, have been getting consistent 800s on my practice tests but I would rather not assume an 800</p>

<p>I was already interviewed, and it was about an hour long. I was sure to ask plenty of questions and got my EC to laugh and seemed to have said a few things she liked, but I haven't the slightest idea what she was thinking so I will leave that up to you guys.</p>
<p>I know that I don't have any astounding feats in scientific fields, and that my GPA isn't really competitive for such a fantastic school, but I figured applying wouldn't hurt. If I don't expect an acceptance, I won't be disappointed! Anyway, thank you for reading and thank you for your comments!</p>
