<p>"not all of us can blow hundreds on apps that could easily get rejected."
so true</p>

<p>yeah, I see a lot of people's hopes dissapear because most of the time when people are looking for chances from some schools its as if the people giving the chances haven't even looked at mid 50% SAT or Average GPA, and assume if you didn't get above a 2100 you're not going anywhere(relatively speaking of course)</p>
