<p>Any shot?</p>

<p>With a 4.0, you have an excellent shot. Where else are you looking?</p>

3

<p>McIntire and NYU are my top choices.</p>

<p>Other places which I might apply to will be:
Berkeley
Boston College
UT-Austin
Emory
Michigan</p>

<p>However, McIntire seems to be at the top of the list right now.</p>

4

<p>Why those schools in particular? Why no other top 25 universities? And if you couldn't afford USC, what makes you think NYU will be affordable?</p>

5

<p>Because I was just dumb and didn't apply for any scholarships at all for USC. I got $15,000 in aid, but that's not enough. If I had applied for scholarships, maybe I would be going there.</p>

<p>But as for McIntire, do my chances look decent? What do I need to improve on?</p>
