<p>Like the previous poster said, everything looks really good, except for you SATs. My son was admitted with a half tuition scholarship, and he had an ACT of 33, which is the equivalent of a 2190 SAT.</p>

<p>Try working to improve your SAT, take the test again, and also consider taking the ACT, which sometimes works better for kids who don't test well on the SAT.</p>

<p>The fact that you are a first generation college student and Latino will most likely be in your favor. If you could increase the SAT score, I would bet you would get a generous scholarship. Given your record of community service, you might be eligible for the Community Service Scholarship, which gives awards from $15k to full tuition.</p>
