<p>with URM status and the good grades/test scores/a little bit above average EC's you're a a match to all the schools listed.</p>

<p>in at all!</p>

<p>"with URM status"</p>

<p>any one with those stats could get into those schools..</p>

<p>thanks guys...what about a merit based scholarship?</p>

<p>i think you could get some aid, im kind of similar to you and improved my stats and ecs applying to some good middle tier schools to get some aid, i think you should consider applying to one or two ivies with ur stats and if you get in ur getting 100% need based aid</p>

<p>Anybody else? Anyone think i could get like $10,000 off my stats alone?</p>

<p>Oh and chances for UCLA too please</p>

<p>Bump....also does anyone know of any good middle-tier schools for journalism?</p>

<p>Ithaca College and Syracuse University are great schools for journalism</p>

<p>Less known, but 80% get admitted to law and grad schools: Muhlenberg in Allentown, PA. APPLY! Your scores will automatically qualify you for $15,000-$20,000 merit aid so the $35,000 private school costs get reduced substantially...</p>
