<p>Thanks so much for taking the time and chancing, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely update once the results start coming in. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for other potential schools, feel free to send them my way...</p>

<p>Schools
*Macalester (ED) - Visited for free as part of a Multicultural Fly-In Program; Fantastic Interview</p>

<p>*Lewis & Clark (EA)
*DePaul (EA)
*University of Portland (EA - Priority)
*Seattle University (EA)</p>

<p>*Grinnell
*Wesleyan
*UC Santa Cruz</p>

<p>*University of Washington (Maybe) - Undecided; would I get any financial aid as an OOS-er?
*University of Chicago (Maybe) - My interview could not have been better; I talked with a Latin American Studies Ph.D, which so happened to be my intended major on my sheet, and I felt I really impressed the guy with my knowledge and made him laugh a whole lot. However, the tour guides and the tour itself steered me clear from wanting to apply to the school even though the session at the end made up that experience. Undecided as of now...</p>

<p>Gonna give this another try...</p>

4

<p>Waitt...how is your Weighted GPA less than your UC gpa?</p>

5

<p>In at UCSC not sure about the rest, you could probably get in at some better UCs</p>

6

<p>I had one or two B's in Religion classes...</p>

<p>I was thinking to add another UC, but to be honest none really appeal to me besides Berkeley and that's a long shot for me. Also, UCLA and UCI are too close for comfort.</p>

<p>(One More Time!)</p>

<p>(Okay, Last Time... Please, Anyone?)</p>

<p>I think you should apply to Chicago and that you'll have a good chance of getting in there</p>

10

<p>What about University of San Francisco? No football, but soccer and basketball are big. High on the diversity scale and a great location (better than SFSU).</p>
