<p>Your stats are very good (even with the gpa - it always looks better, of course, that your lower grades came from freshman year) - plus being Hispanic is a definate plus since colleges tend to try to add diversity to the school and, historically, Hispanics have not applied as much as people from other ethnic/racial groups.</p>

<p>keep the GPA rising, take the ACTs, and get into the top 10% of your class and you're in. right now i would say probably</p>

<p>Yeah I think your chances are good. Bring up the class rank to seal the deal.</p>
