<p>Thanks a bunch :) Let me know if you have any questions!!</p>

<p>I only really know about Columbia…it’ll be a reach. Great class rank, grades, scores, etc. but Ivies are always hard and not predictable. Your EC’s are slightly ordinary too but the first gen hook can help (if your parents didn’t go to college…which was unclear.)</p>

<p>Thank you. You’ve given me a little food for thought :)</p>

<p>match for all except columbia</p>

<p>Thank you for your input!!</p>

<p>Bump! Anybody else wanna crush/inflate my dreams? :)</p>

<p>I neither want to crush or inflate! I am wondering why, as an OOS applicant, you are concentrating on the UCs? They cost nearly $50,000/year OOS, and there is very little aid beyond Federal grants/loans available for OOS.</p>

<p>I’m moving there after I graduate (my whole family is) so it will be cheaper for me in the long run (2 years of residency counts as in-state!) aaand, I love the programs, the research, the campuses, and the opportunities in California :)</p>

<p>good chances at all.Not sure of Columbia-not because you dont qualify but I cant make an accurate judgment since its unpredictable. Can you chance me back? Thanks</p>

<p>Bump Bump Bump !</p>

<p>You’re in the ballpark for USC.</p>

<p>Thanks to thekid23 and FindAPlace !</p>
