<p>The private boarding school I go to gives financial aid to 40% of the school. I myself am on full financial aid; if I hadn’t gotten a full-ride I wouldn’t have been able to attend. So please do not just assume that since I go to a private school I am affluent. I am far from being wealthy.</p>
<p>I was merely asking how much does being hispanic help in admissions, and specifically in my case. </p>

<p>Wouldn’t you say someone who isn’t well off and who has lived in impoverished countries their entire life would fit that category? I’m pretty sure going to school where you don’t even speak the primary language and living in the poorest country in the western hemisphere trumps going to an inner city public high school on all aspects.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to sound arrogant/ignorant/or even mean. It just sounds like you have a very strong critique against the way college admissions is nowadays and your response was rather harsh. Sorry if my response comes off the same way.</p>
