<p>You do have a hook, you are Hispanic. Chances are innately very wild and inaccurate, and I feel URM status makes it even more so. Exactly how much impact being a URM is not really known so if I was chancing you as an unhooked, ie white or asian applicant, I would say you have an average chance, nothing really spectacular, but quite solid all around. Anyway to raise that 31 on the ACT?</p>

<p>The only way would be to retake in December, but that is too late for ED. Thank you for the response, definitely gave me a teaspoon of satisfactory hope.</p>

<p>Bump, any others?</p>
