<p>Hi sbjdorlo,
I see that you’ve been on CC since 2008. Have you already had older children go through the admissions process? Did they do well with scholarships? I would think your son would do amazingly well with those really great scores, great leadership, athletics, music, all that other great stuff, AND URM status! Very impressive! </p>
<p>I’m just guessing here, and you’ve probably already thought of this, but I’d think that he’d get his best scholarship results in schools (states?) that have the smallest Hispanic populations. Of course, the down-side of that is that he might feel a little like a fish out of water in a school in which he is very noticeably in the minority. I guess that will depend on his personality. But I think schools like SMU, Vanderbilt, and Wash U are all trying to improve the racial diversity of their campuses. If your son likes schools like that, it seems like it’d be a win-win for the schools and for your son. He sounds to me like a great scholarship candidate! (And Stanford might be a great choice too!) I can’t wait to hear how he does!</p>
<p>Good luck to you! :)</p>
