<p>I looked at your stats profile. Your #3 choice is UC Berkeley. You say cost is a factor, so UC Berkeley (Or any UC) would not be a good choice. UBC is over $45,000/year, and very little aid is available to out-of-state-students (both NC and international are out-of-state).</p>
<p>You also list your college year as 2012. Have you already started, or do you plan to graduate in three years?</p>
