<p>The sticky threads on this forum are very helpful. For instance, the Resources sticky thread has a section about Hispanics and the College Admissions, which discusses the factors that adcoms look at within the Hispanic pool of students.</p>
<p>Whether or not Brazilians are considered Hispanic depends on what you are asking about: the CA, NHRP, other scholarships, fly-ins, etc.</p>
<p>Spending some time reading the sticky threads, other current threads, and using the Search function (eg. for Brazil) can go a long ways to educating yourself. Not as quick as starting a thread to ask a FAQ, but a lot more rewarding if your interest is to understand the role of ethnicity in the admissions process.</p>
