<p>I'm going to be the first in my nuclear family to go to college and my cousins have only ever gone to community then transferred, so I need a lot of help and I don't currently have access to help. I honestly don't know where I should apply, I mean I do have colleges in mind, but I don't know if I have a chance at those colleges, if they're the right colleges for me, or if there may be a better college out there for me. So I need your help on judging, well, me and my chances.</p>
