<p>Being a “hispanic republican” is not a hook if you are Cuban. Most Cuban’s are republicans. That aside, you need more safety schools. Florida, or Florida State for example.</p>

<p>well they were separate like being a urm is a hook, republican was just a joke even though I am but I doubt that would be a hook… I feel pretty good with florida and miami though and even tulane</p>

<p>Penn is a very good choice, I must say ;)</p>

<p>That being said, you should consider whether you want to apply to Penn-College or Penn-Wharton. Or one of the swanky interdisciplinary programs like the Huntsman Program in international studies and business.</p>
