I can assure you that the Latino Student Union (LSU) does not work with the office of admission. I was in LSU while at UVA and my best friend is currently the president of LSU and we do not have any connection with the admission office. We do, however, get requests from the Dean of Latino students to e-mail prospective latino students. I believe the boost that Latino students get is pretty insignificant as compared to the boost that African American students get. Nonetheless, the different boils to SAT scores because as far as GPAs, latinos tend to do just as well in high school as their white counterparts (this is all from my own observations that I made while an undergrad at UVA).
