<p>Don’t think it would hurt to check the box. Did you do well on the PSAT and are you a National Hispanic Scholar? That could help also. Note that Stanford is a high reach school and be sure you have other schools in mind. My S is hispanic and we live in Northern Calif and he was rejected at Stanford and at Yale. He had pretty good stats. His first choice was UPenn and he did get accepted there. I’ve seen so many students post on CC that Stanford rejected them and they had REALLY GOOD stats…so it’s not always the grades/scores. Good luck!</p>
