That's a really random list, I would suggest applying to more schools from 15-30. What type of hispanic are you? You're probably definitely out at Columbia, but depending on type of hispanic you could have a shot everywhere else.

Since Mexican, you have a good shot at all of those except Columbia. That is, assuming you've already applied. If you're just applying now the late app is probably going to hurt you a bit but I am not sure by how much.

Eh, late apps for URM's don't hurt as much as one might think b/c they usually get their decisions late anyway. They aren't really judged off the medians, so they are evaluated against other URMs which schools like to see their entire URM pool before making decisions. But regardless, if you haven't sent your apps in OP, do it tonight.

Which one of these doesn't fit?

OP, apply to more schools in the T10 - T25 range ASAP.
