I can’t see why you’ll have difficulty getting in the University of Chicago. They do look beyond GPA and test scores for well rounded people or those who will round out the student population (that’s where being Mexican could help).

So, do some extracurricular activities (not necessarily associated with your school) and you’ll be fine.

I do suggest reading The Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Llewelyn. It could be very helpful to someone with your skills.

Best of luck to you 🙂

just make sure you keep your grades high and continue with extracurricular activities. Universities now are looking for well rounded students that can handle their grades and their social life as well. Being a minority does help a bit. There are plenty of scholarships around just for minorities. so remember to look out for them when you do make it into college.
