<p>My mom has me shortening my college list this summer to go on a few vists and my top schools were University of Michigan Ann Arbor and UNC at Chapel Hill.(Also Johns Hopkins but this would be a huge reach for me) I thought I had a decent shot at these but I didn't realize until today how hard it is to be admitted as an oos. Do I still have a chance and is there any way to make myself stand out as an OOS? Also how do you get good aid to schools like this? I have lived in Saint Paul, MN and am a White female from a middle class family with an older sibling who is currently a junior in college and I am intrested in Computer Science and environmental policy.</p>
