Chance a Hopeful Senior -I'll Chance Back within Minutes

<p>Hey, a senior at a private (Catholic) High School in Southern California. I'm primarily focusing on business schools that have good undergraduate programs, and I'm also hoping to attend a school under $15,000 a year, ideally under $10,000 (Income is around $40,000). I'm applying for A LOT of financial aid, and possibly a small amount of merit if possible, so all my choices are cost effective. The schools are broken up into most difficult to least difficult, and it's pretty much in order of my preference. </p>

<p>*
-Essays are very good and reflect my passion; They were well written and witty in certain essays.
-Recs are both very good, and I have a great relationship with my counselor who highlighted many of my substantial attributes.
-Single Mother with a brother in college, father passed away.
-Income of <$45,000</p>

<p>I expect that you’ll get into all of your target schools.
If you really played up the essays, (did you do ED?) then you have a good shot with it. I don’t know much about Richmond, but the same goes for Emory. Yeah, I think you have a great chance. Don’t worry too much. Happy Thanksgiving! </p>

<p>You’re a strong candidate for your target schools. I dont know about the other two reach schools you posted but Boston College might be a little stretch. At this point the most you can do is write stellar personal statements and essays. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks guys, everybody’s been chance’d. I was going to apply ED to Richmond but chose REA and EA for my other applications since I’m depending on the right amount of aid.</p>

<p>Good luck everybody!</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot at all, even BC. SMU for sure, and they’ll give fantastic financial aid. Your financial situation should actually be pretty helpful during your application.</p>

<p>Um, yeah, you have a great chance at all your target schools. Emory might be a low reach though.</p>

<p>Chance back please.

<p>Thanks guys, chanced you</p>

<p>sorry for another bump</p>

<p>It’s not that bad. I’d say Emory might be a little high reach but you should be fine with the other schools.</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>
