<p>i think you have a pretty good chance. are you applying regular decision or did you apply EDII? Either way, i think it's awesome that i could have a classmate from Nigeria.
As long as your essay is solid, you really should get in based on all your credentials. If you really need a lot of financial aid, you'll get it.
good luck :)</p>
