<p>I was wondering how much my basic stats would affect me in admission?
I'm Hispanic, first generation (in country and in college) one parent dropped out of HS and one graduated, approx 25k income</p>
<p>mI’m puerto rican by the way, and looking at top schools like tufts for example</p>
<p>Yes. That is all VERY helpful. But if you really want to be sure to get in, don’t use this as an excuse to be any worse than anyone else.</p>
<p>Think of it as a net which will catch you if you are right on the edge</p>
