<p>How helpful would it be in the admissions process at Stanford to be an Afro-Carribean Latino applying Single Choice Early Action from an underrepresented state like Arizona whose parents didn't attend college? Would it make a huge difference or just tilt the scale? Also, if you're fluent in Spanish but just began to achieve fluency over you're middle school and high school career, would it help? If it would help, how much exactly, like on a scale of 1-5?</p>
<p>wait
you're a latino/black minority
that's HUGE
what are you even talking about</p>
<p>I applied scea a few weeks ago and I just want to know how much exactly I can expect to be helped by my race, my parent's background, and my geographic location. My mom is a first generation mulatta (half black and Spanish) Dominican-American and my dad is second generation, mestizo (mixed Spanish and Mexican Indian) Mexican-American, btw neither attended college. I was just wondering if I can expect my chances of admission to be increased.</p>
<p>ugh
yes, dear, your chances will be greatly increased</p>
<p>thanks, i guess i'm just looking for some comfort or at the very least some security. does anyone know what exactly what percent of stanford ea applicants and acceptances are hispanic &or black? also, how important is fluency in a second language?</p>
<p>12% hispanic and 9% black</p>
<p>I think you are IN. ^^ Don't worry about fluency. They have no way of telling. Good luck, buddy !!</p>
