Right about AOs and high scoring, high gpa Hispanics. However, the "overcome poverty" is conjecture, the OP is a URM, but that does not say anything about his SES.

The only negatives I see are taking Spanish as your FL IF you are a native speaker and possible weakness in the sciences IF your school offers AP Chem & Physics. Even so, you're in very good shape and should get into several top schools.
