<p>What are my chances of getting in with financial aid?
Any other colleges I can get (or squeeze) into?
Will it help me if I work harder at programming and come up with some neat programs?</p>

<p>I don't think making a game for a class assignment would count as an EC. Also, for your school, what is your GPA equivalent on a 4 and 5 scale?</p>

<p>Umm, According to my school's GPA (out of 8), my GPA is an 8.
I do not know how to convert GPA into percentage, but my percentage was 87%</p>

<p>Please someone!?!?</p>

<p>You don’t really have a chance of getting much financial aids from the three public schools.</p>

<p>I think you can get into the schools but financial aid is tough.</p>
