<p>Hi everyone, I would just like to thank you all for posting in advance. Here is my situation. My family is on the poor end of the income spectrum (but not quite enough to get full or great financial aide but not enough to pay like more than 8-9 thousand a year) and although I have many aspirations to go to an out of state college or competitive school, I just know my family financially can't handle such a burden. I feel as if I am contained to attending a small in state college with good scholarships, but I really want more. </p>
<p>With that in mind, I was just wondering if anyone would like to chance me for Johns Hopkins, Stanford, UCLA, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, NYU, and Columbia. ( I know they're a stretch I just want some honest feedback) Thank you:</p>
