<p>Also, I am white male and poor. My family income is like 30-40k adn I have a brother who is going to Princeton. (I need aid, lots of aid. I totally have like 4-5k a year to go to </p>

<p>college but my families expected payment is only like 2k for most of these colleges). I want to go into Math(focus in logic)/Economics (I would like some Irish Studies but I have </p>

<p>no SAT IIs to apply to ND or BC).</p>

<p>Colleges:</p>

<p>Villanova (slight reach- match?)
Loyola of MD (safe match)
U of Maryland College Park (Math -> 5 year program) (match?)
UMBC (Safety)
McDaniel (Safety)</p>

<p>Am I in UMD: CP? (safely). My Essays are rather strange and edgy, I guess (so I will stand out?) and my reqimendations will be rather weak. Aer their any good reachs i could apply </p>

<p>to without SAT IIs?</p>

<p>how did your brother turn out so smart and you didn't?</p>

<p>SATs =/= intelegence. SATs = the amount you study (Studing is just socially exceptable cheating)</p>

<p>I don't study and I got a very high score on the SATs. So I just refuted that argument.</p>

<p>Wow. Orangedreamsicle, just ignore birthofthecool. It's amazing how many rude and arrogant people there are out there.</p>

<p>I'd comment about your colleges, but unfortunately, I don't know much about them. Hopefully someone else will be able to provide useful feedback.</p>

<p>$30-40K is poor?</p>

<p>$30-40K is poor?</p>

<p>Yeah, it is at least were I live. Is it not enough to get me aid?</p>

<p>Bump. Any suggestions for possible reaches? I have to turn the schools for my school to send transcripts to next week.</p>
