<p>I don’t think Claremont McKenna College would view Carleton as a “peer school”. IF a school will review your offer (you are not negotiating…you are asking for a review based on another offer), it would need to be a peer school.</p>
<p>What are you getting when you do these net price calculators? Have you done any of them? They will at least give you an estimate of your net costs. Have you talked to your parents? What WILL they pay per year? Are you a low income student (from a family where the family income is below $30,000 a year)? Does your family have any assets…home equity, savings, etc?</p>
<p>All of these questions need to be answered (not here…but by you…). </p>
<p>Will your family qualify for need based aid? </p>
<p>If financial aid is a serious consideration…you might want to consider applying RD.</p>
<p>And if you are a competitive applicant for some of these well endowed schools that meet full need for all, perhaps you should also consider some schools where you would receive merit aid based on your stats.</p>
<p>ETA…here is your chances thread. The schools you are listing are not a slam dunk in terms of admission even applying ED or EA. </p>

<p>You need some true match and safety schools on this list. And a safety would include affordability as well as a very strong likelihood of acceptance. </p>
<p>UT Austin, BU, UMich, UCLA, and Berkeley will not likely give you the aid you need to attend. None meet full need for international students…and those publics won’t give you sufficient aid to attend. </p>
<p>The rest of your list is REACHES for almost everyone…except Carleton. But again…aid? Who knows.</p>
