<p>Well said samclare. Being hispanic is not just a name, it is the way you grew up, where you’re from, and the way your family acts. It entails a different type of upbringing and a different mindset. It’s not just diversity in the color of skin, but a different way of looking at things. As a 2014 applicant for colleges, I know that I will get an advantage or a “second look” as you said, but it will be my academic credentials that get me into a school and nothing else.</p>
