<p>Hi Jon,</p>
<p>Do you have any safety schools? </p>
<p>Your stats look very good and I’m sure you’ll get into a great school, but I would recommend having a safety school on your list.</p>
<p>As far as whether being a math major and being Hispanic will be adventageous, I cannot say for sure. My son, 1/2 Puerto Rican, 1/2 Caucasian, middle income (below
80K), not first gen (I graduated from the local state univ here in So Cal), applied as a math major to his schools including two Ivies, Princeton and Penn. He was admitted to all 10 of his schools and is currently a freshman at MIT.</p>
<p>I don’t know how much either his major or his ethnicity were a factor. He was a top student who also took lots of college math and physics during high school and had SAT scores of 2300+ as well as some national level achievements in math, physics and chess. It’s too hard to know what factors tip admissions in one direction or another.</p>
<p>You sound like a hard working, smart, and interesting student. If you write great essays, I am sure you will do well in admissions! :-)</p>
