<p>Hahahaha is this a joke? Not only would you "get in" but I'm willing to bet they'd pay your entire tuition. </p>

<p>UAlbany is your safety.</p>

<p>I think you are a shoe-in. You also have an opportunity of either having 6.5k a year or 5k a year which is nice. I have one question. Why would you want to travel all that way just to come to a suny school?</p>

<p>My research has told me that the Rockefeller College of Public Administration is one of the best in the country. It is also one of the only ones with a combined degree program. Those are the main reasons I would like to go.</p>
