<p>Being Hispanic will help, as will your class rank and ECs. But based on your grades and SAT scores, as well as possibly a less-rigorous-than-available HS curriculum, all these schools look like reaches to me. Fine to apply to some of them, but I think you need to add some matches and a couple of safeties. You could be admitted at one or more of these schools, but you could just as easily be shut out from all of them. So you need some back-ups.</p>
<p>So I’m estimating your cumulative UW GPA is now somewhere around 3.72, which is quite good but not stellar, and it’s not helped by the fact that your strongest grades were as a freshman. Not sure how your SAT breaks down between CR, M and W, but at many schools CR and M are still more important. Assuming you got about 630 per section, that would put you in the bottom quartile at every school you list. Your GPA would be competitive at Colgate, the least selective school you list here—assuming they don’t discount for possible lack of rigor in your curriculum, or for the dip in grades between freshman and sophomore years. But Colgate’s admit rate is only 29%, so with SAT scores in the bottom quartile and grades somewhere around the midpoint, it’s still a reach.</p>
<p>Look for schools where your grades and test scores are around the top half and the overall admit rate is 40-45% or higher–e.g., schools like Lafayette, Skidmore, and Dickenson. Those are your matches. Safeties would be schools with a similar or higher admit rate and where your GPA and test scores put you in the top quartile, or where you’re at least in the second quartile and the admit rate is around 70% or higher, e.g., Beloit.</p>
