<p>Whether or not colleges consider S. Americans ‘Hispanic’ for admissions purposes has been debated here. At many colleges it is Mexicans and Puerto Ricans who get that consideration.</p>

<p>Stanford and MIT will be very tough if you are not given that hook but you look strong for all of the others.</p>

<p>Hey I’m also hispanic and a link crew leader! and in my experience anyone with a strong background from a spanish speaking country is considered hispanic (I am a first gen. spaniard who is a national hispanic merit scholar etc.)
Your SATs are a little low for MIT and Stanford, as are your ECs but your grades are phenominal</p>

<p>Stanford: mid-high reach
MIT: high reach (my school sends 60+ to ivies every year and no one has ever gotten into MIT)
UC Berkeley: low reach
UCLA: low reach
UCSD: in
UCSB: safety
UC Davis: safety
USC: safety
Cal Poly SLO: I don’t know</p>

<p>My school transcript says I’m hispanic/latino which makes sense because south america is part of what is called latin america (which includes central america), so i would be latino and i speak spanish natively so yeah.</p>
