<p>I aiming at a Economics Major
I won't need Financial Aid (which UCs dont provide for Internationals anyway). Any chance that being German could be a possible hook?
I am also looking at USC, NYU, UCSD and UCSB besides my first choice, UCLA.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for all your help.
Rob</p>
<p>PS: I would also appreciate comments about how I could increase my chances.</p>
