<p>I know I'm not a superlative student by any stretch of the imagination, but if you could please give me your opinions about my chances at those schools, that would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you know any other schools with a good Education or Psychology program... I'm open to suggestions. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Please!</p>

<p>I know you might not know much of my instate schools. Im more worried about Elon/Clemson/Auburn/Baylor</p>

[zatoony]

<p>I would imagine you have a good chance at Longwood, GMU, ODU, CNU and Baylor. Elon is tougher than people think.</p>
