Your SAT isn't fantastic, but it qualifies. You've also taken some challenging courses and have a couple significant ECs. The only thing that didn't impress me is the fact that you are Hispanic and took AP Spanish lol. Again, you're a little on the low side, but you do have a decent possibility at all of them! Work on your essays (revise them, get someone to revise them, and revise them again), and that will boost your chance at admission. Good luck! Hope you get in.|||I don't think your qualified for these specifications.
