<p>(Especially if you go to, or even applied, to these schools)</p>
<p>Hi, I'm an upcoming senior and I'm definitely feeling the stress of the approaching college application season. I have decided on my final list of schools and I was hoping you would chance me. I warn you, my stats aren't as dazzling as some of the other people who beg for chances lol.</p>
<p>The Schools (in order of preference):
*Pepperdine University
*Loyola Marymount University
*Auburn University
*The University of Alabama
*University of Central Florida
*Wake Forest University
*Florida State University
*University of Florida</p>
<p>I've taken a look at the admissions requirements and statistics that are available online for each of these universities, but they all don't really tell me much. So I was hoping someone who has been accepted to either of these universities will tell me what they think my chances of admission are based on my stats.</p>
