Every school practices affirmative action. Recently, the benefits of being Hispanic has dropped significantly while the benefits of being black is stronger than ever.

Though being both Hispanic and a female would be a HUGE boost for acceptance to any engineering program in the United States. But Harvard and Tufts are both liberal arts oriented - Harvard doens’t even have a undergrad engineering school while Tufts’ is ranked really low. Have you considered schools such as MIT, Caltech, Rice, UC Berekley, Duke, etc?

Good luck!
