<p>If you’re not a resident of Michigan, don’t bother. They won’t help you.</p>

<p>Your chances for UVA (if you’re out of state) are low. They don’t accept many OOS students.</p>

<p>If you get into Vandy, you will likely get a full ride. However, you stats are lowish for Vandy, but being Hispanic might help. You’re at the bottom of the mid 50 range. </p>

<p>Your chances for BC are ok. And, BC will meet need.</p>

<p>What if I retake my ACT, and lets say i get a 32 or 33, because quite frankly, i thought i broke my finger the night before and could not sleep and it was just a terrible test! would i have a better chance at vandy?</p>

<p>Huh?! What’s that all about, M2CK?</p>

<p>M2CK? What is thatt?</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>I am M2CK.</p>

<p>Can I get any full rides if my family together makes about $60,00 with one child already in college?</p>

<p>If you get into Vandy, Vandy will likely pay for all your costs. Your income is low and you’ll have 2 in college. Your family won’t be expected to pay anything at Vandy…hence, a free ride. Vandy won’t even put a loan in your package.</p>

<p>GaDad…why is that confusing?</p>

7

<p>hmm, how do you know this?</p>

8

<p>vandy says that they’ll meet 100% of your demonstrated need, and it’s all in grants. so theoretically, anyone should be able to pay for it. I think you look like a good match for everything, except uva would probably be a bit of a reach oos.</p>

9

<p>Well, first you have to apply. And then, you go to their websites and see the stats. Then decide yourself if think you will get accepted or not.</p>

<p>One question. though: Did you just skip Calc AB?</p>

10

<p>Nope, honors precalc covers the “A” semester of Calculus</p>

<p>bumppppp!!</p>
