<p>I am thinking of applying to Macalester as a reach school. My GPA is about a 3.2 at a private school that I know for a fact Mac loves and respects. I am South American and from NYC and despite my low GPA my college adviser thinks I should apply because my ethnicity and location will help me out. </p>

<p>What do you think?
(I'll be interviewing, won't be able to visit)</p>

<p>Ethnicity will help quite a bit. They love that.
In your interview, make sure they know WHY you can't visit.
Good luck.</p>
