<p>I think you have a very good shot, particularly if you let the school know that it is your first choice, if it in fact is.</p>

<p>You really think i have a good chance. Thats good but I dont know what you mean by letting the school know i am their first choice. Is it applying early.</p>

<p>Franklin & Marshall gives an edge to people who apply early decision (see the website), but I do not know if applying early decision would negatively affect your chances for financial aid. If I were you, I would discuss your interest in F&M with an admissions officer, tell him or her that the college is your first choice (if this is true,) explain your need for financial aid and ask whether he or she would recommend that you apply early decision.</p>
