<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>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>Bump…!
And I’m applying other schools in regular decision:
Cornell
Tulane
Rochester
Amherst
Middlebury
Smith
Mount Holyoke
Lafayette
Union college,NY</p>

<p>I’m just afraid of being rejected by all…!</p>
