No one will care about the minor. They probably won't even care about the major since your non a top undergrad. Play all the angles you can to get into the best MBA you can. Look into Consortium for MBA apps where possible.

Play it but be subtle. Position it as I want to share my heritage in a positive way. I played it too obviously and now have to reapply. "My parents are hardworking immigrants" is better than "I am Hispanic, so take me."
