<p>I don’t do chance threads because frankly I don’t think they have much worth. Plus in your situation I think your grades and activities are strong so only the college you apply to will have the answer.</p>
<p>I do suggest that you add some colleges to your list that are test option; meaning they could care less about your test scores. These schools can be found at fairtest.org. [SAT/ACT</a> Optional 4-Year Universities | FairTest](<a href=“http://fairtest.org/university/optional]SAT/ACT”>ACT/SAT Optional List - Fairtest) At such schools you would be a strong candidate since you are URM and with high grades/ECs. </p>
<p>Sorry it is not the answer you want to hear but if you like those schools then apply. Follow-up with an email to the admission rep for your area as well as of the office of diversity or multi-cultural affairs. Tell them of your interest in attending the schools and your grades/ecs. Although your test scores are not high; they are not horrible; trust me I have seen much worse. If you look at Brandies on collegedata.com you will see that 43% are accepted with your math score and 20% with your CR score so I think you should throw them an application. [Brandeis</a> University Admissions Information - CollegeData College Profile](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=453]Brandeis”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=453) Also see if any of those schools listed have a Latino recruiter in the admissions office. Write to that person to to express your interest and to ask about any special visit programs etc. </p>
<p>Spend less time on cc and more on filling out your applications since you can’t be considered unless you apply. Keep up with your grades and Good Luck!!</p>
