Hispanic Ivy Chances -- Help

<p>My opinion:</p>

<p>Your strengths
ECs and Leadership (very good imo)
The college classes, though I've heard that universities don't put as much weight on them if it is a school program.
Being Hispanic</p>

<p>Your weakenesses (in comparison to Harvard)
Sat scores: 25%tile for Harvard according to USNews is 1400 M/V, you have 1380 so more than 75% of the accepted people are higher than you.
GPA</p>

<p>I would also not mention that </p>

<p>"My Gifted English teacher used to tell us that we were competing against a very small pool of students. Of course, small represents a few thousand or hundred Hispanics."</p>

<p>it just shows you're inclined to take the easy way out and expect AA to get you in.</p>

<p>Overall I estimate up to 35% to get it with good essays, I would definitly apply</p>
