<p>I’m not a believer in Chances, particularly when it comes to highly selective colleges. IMO about the only thing that one can predict with any confidence is whether a student is a competitive candidate or not.</p>
<p>I don’t know what the breakdown of your testing is, it matters more for a school like MIT, but in general your gpa & scores are competitive. Your ECs look solid. SSP will be a stronger factor if you are receiving FA vs. paying the full 4k.</p>
<p>More important than your chances at MIT is the make-up of your college list, whether it contains realistic admissions and financial safety, match and reach schools. And if the number of schools permits you to complete customized, polished applications for all of them.</p>
<p>Within the pool of Hispanic applicants, there are other factors that will affect admissions, see the threads linked to at the bottom of post #126 here:</p>

<p>As far as the ■■■■■ incident, if you haven’t noticed already, anything concerning URMs can bring out the worst in CC. Outside of this forum, there are relatively few members that have first hand knowledge of how college admissions works for Hispanic students, so fantasies and speculation abound.</p>
<p>I hope you will take the time to participate on the Class of 2017 discussion sticky thread and read the Resources sticky thread, where there is helpful information about scholarships, fly-ins to diversity weekends, past results, etc.</p>
