<p>Special status: single parent family(not really very special..)</p>
<p>There seem to be a great many things,,, but indeed not anything REALLY special except the research on straws perhaps..</p>
<p>But I stick to some of the activities for a long time.</p>
<p>I also intend to major in Biology/ chemistry/ mathematics/ environmental science</p>
<p>I have ranked colleges in the match this way:
Princeton
Yale
Uchicago
Brown
Swarthmore
Carleton</p>
<p>I love Princeton very much...but it seems I have a slim chance
because I've never taken part in international contests or exchange programs or summer
science programs....</p>
<p>A very important thing is that I absolutely need financial aid,
my highest Family contribution possible is 25,000$/yr...</p>
<p>Thanks for any suggestions!</p>
