<p>recs- amazing i know several teachers and admin who love me (eww that sounded rude)</p>
<p>chance me for these schools so i can shorten my list
upenn, georgetown, brown, maybe princeton (scared to apply), villanova, nyu, suny bing, colgate, wesleyan, penn state also offer schools u think i might like lol
thank you so much =]</p>
<p>almost forgot upenn is def my top school but i don't think i can do ED cause i need finaid, should i call and talk to them about it? how should i handle this situation?</p>
<p>UPenn = mid reach although you look like a very good candidate, low reach if you ED
Georgetown = mid reach, probably the same level as UPenn because Georgetown is known for Int Relations
Villanova = match/safety
NYU = match (it is very good for economics, I would strongly consider attending if you get good financial aid)
Penn State = safety</p>
<p>I don't know the other schools well enough to chance you</p>
<p>UPenn hasn't released their class of '13's financial aid information and will not release them until next April or May rolls around (My mom called them last Monday). Thus, if you call them and ask for an estimate, they cannot give you one. </p>
<p>However, like many elite schools, they will meet 100% of your demonstrated need (whatever that might be, I'm sure they're calculators on the internet for figuring out what your demonstrated need is)</p>
<p>looks like you should be good for the schools you are applying to. your minority status combined with your stellar achievements should set you up nicely. good luck!</p>
<p>do u mean for princeton, brown, and the others that i haven't gotten replies for or the more responsive ones like upenn and nyu
oh and i think it would be worth it for me to take the act instead of sat cause i didn't prep and got a 29 as opposed to a 1960 with prep classes</p>
<p>If you're worried about Financial Aid, the rule of thumb is that HYP gives the best financial aid packages, so you might consider doing RD instead of ED</p>
<p>azngod1992, do you think i should do ED for penn then, i know they eliminated loans but as u can see from one of my other posts i need a lot of help, cause 80,000 isn't a lot in ny especially the area i live
also do you think my chances for princeton are good, since u mentioned hyp?</p>
<p>oh and clair1016 do you know any other safties i might want to look into?</p>
