Please chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1586220-welcoming-any-all-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1586220-welcoming-any-all-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>thank you and I will</p>

<p>The only one I know is Umass Amherst. Looks like a match to me. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1591456-chance-me-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1591456-chance-me-ill-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your alumni connection will I think give you a higher chance of consideration for UMD. </p>

<p>The other schools either seem to be high matches or reaches. Best of luck! :)</p>
