<p>Seriously, your academic profile is fine:
2350SAT, 3x 800 SAT IIs, multiple top ECs. Just relax. </p>
<p>Your toying with marking “Hispanic” to eke some additional advantage has real consequences. You should think about that – it’ll be good practice since you said you want to be pre-med and want to help people.</p>
