<p>What could I have done to increase my chances?
What would you have changed?</p>

<p>How many Hispanics actually have high SAT scores? Would it be better if I were to increase my SAT Math score up to a 700? 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>I thought that the college program I did would be benefit me because it showed that I was able to handle AP classes, judging by my scores, and that I wanted to excel from my regular high school and pursue hands-on experience with the laboratory classes at the college since each lab is an entire semester and 4 hours long a week, basically leaving me out of school at 9pm at night. </p>
<p>Many of my friends, Hispanics as well, have been accepted to these colleges with similar criteria. Shouldn't taking Organic Chemistry at a college, while AP Chemistry ends with Inorganic Chemistry, be a bump upward? </p>
<p>I understand my GPA is kind of low but my school is very difficult. However, it only offers 3 AP classes per year and that is what I am bound to since the college classes only count as honor classes. </p>
<p>The Tutoring E.Cs were done because I'm very good at explaining information to others. I thought it would look good because, since I come from a really low-income D school, it would be as if I helped those that were at the bottom try and excel to become something greater. I really don't care what they think about it because it was a really great experience to help others. </p>
<p>Thanks for everything, you guys. Everything you tell me helps me improve myself and my application as a whole. </p>
<p>Tell me what you think.</p>
