*Cringe* So if both my parents are currently unemployed...

<p>Please do apply to an array of colleges. It is hard for you to know who will have deep pockets – apply broadly and then see what comes in the door. Your stats are going to be attractive to a number of schools. And if you have an array of offers, you may be able to negotiate with the one of your choice. (They don’t use the term “negotiate” – but you can say "I love Mighty U but Happy College has offered me XXXX and I was wondering if you could match that so I could come to Mighty U because Mighty U really is my first choice. (please note ego strokes – this is no time for you to act arrogant).
Good luck!</p>
