8

<p>any1 else?</p>

9

<p>you should be accepted to all...because of your good stats and your URM status.</p>

10

<p>m8913s:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCI/UCSB: Safe Match</p>

11

<p>You will be accepted at most, if not all of them. Where do you really want to go? What are you really looking for? You could consider a few more private schools and delete a couple of the state schools, if you really want private.</p>

12

<p>low income and small private school dont match</p>

13

<p>As a URM and low income student, you have a MUCH better chance at private schools than state schools because they can't consider your URM status. The good private schools usually offer much better financial aid (low loans) that publics, too. I would try to get the SAT score a little higher and focus on privates. Look at some below the ivies also maybe Vandy, Georgetown, Colby, Colgate, Hamilton, etc.</p>

<p>"low income and small private school dont match"
yeah it can, I go to a privet school since i recieve financial aid, i get scholarships for my grades every year and do work study. So it is possible!
