<p>Wow!! Thats a lot…try Stanford…UCB/UCLA don’t offer FA if OOS (correct me If I am wrong :)) and UWS would easily accept you!</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! :slight_smile: It’s not really that much, probably looks like a lot since I listed locations. ^^;</p>

<p>Select your best 5 . and post…that would help the most :)</p>

<p>Stanford: Reach
UWA: Safety</p>

<p>Scratch UCs off your list for undergrad since you are likely not be able to afford them… you can always attend them for grad school.</p>
