<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>
