One last thing, if you got a score of about 185 or higher on the PSAT junior year, you may qualify for National Hispanic Scholar, which could lead to merit aid, college admissions and other opportunities. However, your high school would need to verify that you’re Hispanic (to be considered Hispanic, you’d need to be at least one-quarter Hispanic.

This is more reason for you to make sure that an informed, nonbigot will be handling your college and scholarship paperwork on your high school’s behalf. You don’t want your idiot of a GC denying your Hispanic because you don’t look like the Frito Bandito or whatever her stereotypes are of Hispanics.
