<p>Hi i am Hispanic and my older sister (hispanic as well) wants to go to Yale. She has a 5 on AP calc ab, 780 on math 2, 690 on bio, 2100 on her sat, 3.52 Gpa (unweighted). She has been in 7 honors classes and is taking Ap physics C and Ap calc BC this year. I wanted to know if this is enough to get in to Yale or maybe Columbia for biomedical engineering. Can someone please explain if she is better off early decision to one of those schools or applying regular with around a 700-720 on physics instead of 690 Bio because she would be taking that in november after the e.d. date. THANKS!!!!</p>

<p>She also has been in 8 clubs and 2 sports (soccer and lacrosse.)</p>

<p>Sorry i forgot to add that she is in AP french as well. She is half jewish and speaks hebrew as well but i wanted to know if there would be an advantage leaving that out and applying as hispanic only.</p>
