<p>Assuming that you count as an international, I hope that you’ve got enough $$$ to cover costs. Otherwise I don’t really see any problems.</p>
<p>I mean AA+33(good luck! I think you can do it)-GPA (really try to pull that up)+EC (they look pretty good, hopefully you have some leadership positions)+essays (I would assume that they’ll be pretty good since you expect a 5 on Eng)</p>
<p>I’m rooting for you! et tu parles francais! C’est tres bien!!! Francais est le meilleur langue ;D</p>
<p>A green card is all you really need. You’re not counted as an international and therefore you are eligible for financial aid. The 1st generation college/ URM status will help you significantly. You have a good chance of getting in so keep on working hard!</p>
Et oui, francais est le meilleur ;D</p>
