Hispanic Test Scores and admit rate?

[entomom]

<p>

Does anyone know the range of the SAT or ACT scores for Hispanics applying to Ivies or any other good schools? Also does anyone know anything about how their admit rate compares to normal applicants?

</p>

<p>There is no data on this that I know of, the best way to get some idea is to look at past Results threads for colleges you are interested in. In general, don’t expect to get a ‘bump’ in test scores unless you are somehow disadvantaged: low SES, overcome obstacles, etc. And even then, there will be a minimum, about 600 per section, under which the selective colleges won’t go because the student would have a difficult time succeeding academically. For non-disadvantaged Hispanics, expect to have the same stats as other competitive candidates. The advantage of a high stat Hispanic is that they often get into several selective colleges.</p>

Is it worth going to a college’s diversity days and does it affect the admission process in anyway?

</p>

<p>It’s worth it if you’re interested in the college. You can see if you like it and at the same time show interest. How much it affects admission likely varies with the college. Some colleges will waive application fees if you attend, or even just apply (eg. Amherst)</p>

Lastly, Dartmouth is my first choice and I was wondering if they had a diversity day.

<p>Yes, but I believe it was this summer:</p>
