<p>I would like to attend a smaller college, but my parents made me apply to UCs and USC. I'm not opposed to leaving the West Coast, but only for a pretty good school with good financial aid.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance and hope to hear back soon. :)</p>

<p>OH goodness! You're the only other senior I've seen applying to Seattle U! Although there appears to be one more...</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at all of them. Boston College and USC could teeter, and the roughest I would guess is UCLA, but I think with some great subjectives it's reachable. Though the other schools wouldn't make bad back-ups. ;-)</p>

<p>Best of hopes!</p>
