<p>GPA and SAT are in the averages. Your extra curricular activities sound very good.
The top 10%, coupled with Hispanic ethnicity, should make you a good match.</p>
<p>The fact that you’re from a “very competitive” high school might hurt you with a 2010 SAT, but the fact that you are hispanic like mentioned above does help. Make sure to at least mention that in your essays somewhere. Otherwise you look like a match. You shouldn’t really have a problem - good luck.</p>
<p>What happened to going to stanford?</p>
<p>Fizast I would love to go to Stanford more than anything in the world but I’m trying to be realistic here! 7% acceptance rate isn’t very promising…</p>
<p>^Your ethnicity helps you much more with Stanford than it does with UCLA.</p>
<p>Being Hispanic makes no difference for admission to UCLA because of prop 209. They are not allowed to consider race, sex, or ethnicity.</p>
<p>HopelessStanford,</p>
<p>With your STATS…I think you have a good shot at Stanford. They LOVE Hispanics and would take you over any Asian! A 2010 SAT is like golden. I know someone who got in with a 1770 and he wasn’t an athlete. You should feel really good about Stanford. I would also apply to USC UCLA and Berkeley just as back ups. I’d say you have 45% of getting into Stanford. 65% for Berkeley, 80% for UCLA and 90% for USC. Keep up the great work and let me know if you get accepted. Good Luck with your application! Write about being hispanic…it will get you in!</p>
