<p>well i think you will almost certainly get in and most likely get some money although aid is always a crapshoot.</p>

<p>and i forgot to add, two varsity letters in debate and mock trial.</p>

<p>Isn't most financial aid these days based on need based rather than merit based? But I guess that shouldn't stop you from trying. Do not worry, if you need the money you will certainly get it.</p>

<p>Wow you have a lot of impressive AP's though.</p>
