<p>Welcome to CC and the Hispanic Students forum!</p>
<p>Please read the first post of the sticky thread about the definition of Hispanic, it will address misconceptions that many people have about who is Hispanic. Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. Hispanics can be, and are of any race(s). You will see that on the CA, ethnicity and race are addressed in two separate questions and someone identifying as Hispanic is able to mark down any race(s) that apply to them.</p>
<p>Next, read this thread to give you some idea of the factors WITHIN the Hispanic designation that will affect how you are viewed by adcoms:</p>

<p>These factors, the individual college, and what’s on the rest of your application are all important in your standing as a Hispanic applicant.</p>
<p>x-posted w/CLM, I agree with CLM, there are many highly qualified Hispanic applicants to the most selective schools, they’re still reaches for anyone.</p>
