Your strength of schedule is very good - lots of AP's... Your class rank/grades are okay. Your scores are (to me) the weakest part of the academic side of your stats.
Your EC's seem to me to be pretty good - the hydrogen car race seems pretty unique. I think they'll like that.
I'm not sure I'd list Lifeguard Certification as an award - just whatever job or volunteering you did that used your certification.
I'm not sure what you mean by "truly consider racial status." I don't think being an URM is going to give you that much of an edge anywhere. Secondly, and this is a side issue, "Hispanic" is not a race. It's a term coined by the 1970 US Census to lump together people of several distinct Spanish-speaking cultures/origin that represented a growing minority of the population. The US OMB currently defines hispanic as:
Quote:
|
A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
