<p>Look at page 14: <a href=“http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2012/pdf/profile/Hispanic.pdf[/url]”>http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2012/pdf/profile/Hispanic.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>ACT 30 = 2062 students
ACT 31 = 1402 students
ACT 32 = 945 students
ACT 33= 580 students
ACT 34= 355 students
ACT 35 = 127 students
ACT 36 = 17 students</p>

<p>in 2012, 3,426 students who self identified as Hispanic or Latino had a higher ACT score than you. </p>

<p>Rather than ask “Will my ethnicity make up for my low ACT for Ivy league/prestigious private schools?” . . .you should be asking:</p>

<p>* What do I have to offer that would make an Ivy league/prestigious private school take me over 3,426 other Hispanic/Latino students that scored higher on the ACT? *</p>
