Chance me for USC, Pomona.. Do I even stand a chance?

Yes.

But if you have need and are international, you should also look to the 7 schools that are need blind and meet need - the two you chose could turn you down based on your financial need.

Is 15K the absolute stretch of you could go $20/25K - because if so, U of Alabama and Western Carolina are two to look at. I realize you are seeking a name…but if you want a US education, that’s two possibilities. Good luck.
