<p>I would love, love to get 1/2. or even a 1/3. it would be wooonderful! anyone else?</p>

<p>i think your chances, def for the third, are pretty solid but its always such a crapshoot. but i definitely would be optimistic</p>

5

<p>applying to AU, is no crapshoot, its pretty easy to get into. I mean do you know how many people apply to AU from frickin Kentucky? She's in, without a doubt. If you don't get in, ill pay you're college tuition anywhere.</p>

<p>good!:) anyone else?</p>

7

<p>i meant that aid is always a crapshoot, not admission. she is obviously getting in.</p>

<p>lol your asking a bunch of struggling high school and college students...none of us know for sure. We don't work at American. If your so anxious call up the financial aid department and ask them for your "chances"...</p>
