<p>@econsftw I didn’t mean it was guaranteed hence the maybe. Berkley is always tough for me to chance because while it has a low acceptance rate (18%) it has a wider range of accepted students (I think the ACT distribution was like 27-31). Might I suggest you look into other schools (such as UM Ann Arbor)? You seem to be shooting for the big name schools but there are others just as good. </p>
<p>Btw I have the same economic situation but my parents don’t want to pay, I wish that was cause for fin aid! :–D</p>
