<p>That’s impressive if you aren’t Hispanic.</p>

<p>You seem to have really really strong credentials. I certainly hope you can explain them with your own unique voice, because a lot of mathematicians have won huge national tournaments, so if you stereotype yourself into that category by not deepening your character, you’ll have some tough competition. You sound amazing, however.</p>
