Your app seems pretty promising.

I’m confused, though. Are you a junior? Because you just listed that you got a 2 soph year in WHAP, and if you got a 4 upon retake… doesn’t that make you a senior now? :P

I’m going to disagree with previous posters. Your quantitative stats (GPA + SAT scores + SAT II/AP scores) are fine, but not spectacular. I think you’ll have a shot because of your essays, because if you’re a semifinalist in these competitions I’m sure you write convincingly and you’ll be able to turn your life into a hook. (As it is I think the “learned English in middle school” thing is, unfortunately, common among many smart minorities.) Being a Latina will also help.
