Hey guys. Does anyone know exactly how much of a benefit being a URM is, specifically a non-puerto rican/non-mexican hispanic? I had read an article online this summer that a prof at Princeton had done some research on the subject and concluded that being hispanic was worth 185 points on one’s SAT score, but it didn’t specify what strain of hispanic.

How competive is a 1460, a 3.5, and extracurriculars teeming from one’s wazoo for a plain ol’ hispanic in the harvard EA pool?

Whenever I read anything about diversity or affirmative action they always talk about african americans and latinos as the main URMs. Does anyone know of any statistics for the number of hispanics with 1450+ SATs? I had read about there only being 192 african americans with 1450+ SATs, but I haven’t heard any figures for the number of hispanics in that scoring bracket.
