The biggest problem is usually not getting rejected, it’s getting accepted. Grades and scores are excellent. The only problem is their acceptance rate. The only thing you can do is apply and see what they decide. You have around a 10% chance of acceptance, and even if you get in, you have to find a way to pay for it without co-signing private loans. Keep an affordable public school as a strong backup. It’s not uncommon for kids to get screwed at the last minute by financial aid departments.
