<p>You sound like a solid student. Read the college literature carefully. Contact the college with any questions you have. Visit. Decide specifically why that college might be for you and be specific. Then make a smart list of reaches, just rights, and safeties - all schools that you could imagine yourself attending. Then wait and see. The best thing you can do is to do your homework, prepare your credentials, do your best, and apply. Good things will come to you.</p>

<p>thank you so much! (:

<p>Honest opinion: You’re being too paranoid. Take every tough class that you feel you will enjoy and stop obsessing over your grades. And you’re a first generation hispanic with straight As, a 33 and strong ECs. You’ll get in, I’m pretty sure.</p>

5

<p>what do you want to study? I would be slightly concerned if you wanted to be an engineer or a hard scientist, just because you have been putting a higher priority on other subjects, but if you want to go into pretty much any other field I think you’re doing fabulously.</p>

<p>Good ACT score, solid A’s, great EC’s and a hook (hispanic). Your chances are looking great!</p>

<p>You’re a first generation Hispanic. Enough said. You’re in.</p>
