<p>I like your chances for admission, particularly if you are in the top 10% of your class, but don’t like your chances for receiving much in the way of merit-based aid/awards. Do you know your rank or decile? Are you ELC eligible for the UCs, which would indicate that you are in the top 9% of your class? </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
