Luni,
NA/Mexican will be a hook, and your grades and scores look within range for Amherst. My main concern looking at your most recent post on the Oberlin forum (where you show that you are only taking the AP classes and orchestra right now) is that your schedule looks pretty light for junior and senior year, with 4 core subjects each year.

Have/are you going to one of the Diversity weekends? If so, that is a substantial boost as they accept 75% of those that attend and then apply.

It’s impossible to predict, so work hard on the essays and good luck!
