<p>Questions:</p>

<p>Could you see me getting accepted into all the schools, are they realistic choices?</p>

<p>Which schools would you rank reach, match, and safety?</p>

<p>Do you think I should apply to the schools under consideration, do I have a shot at U of Illinois UC?</p>

<p>Also this isnt really important but what kind of financial aid do you think I could get (not need, parents make like 200,000 but 2 other kids in the family in private school?</p>

<p>Where should I start to get information about financial (very confused about)?</p>

<p>I realize I am applying to a lot schools (still narrowing down the list) but I dont want to regret not applying anywhere.</p>

<p>Thank you and I hope for many responses</p>

<p>Well, I’ll assume that you retake the ACT and get a 27.</p>

<p>BU- reach
UMiami- reach
Miami-Ohio- High match
Northeastern- slight reach
Michigan State- high match
IU- slight reach
Eckerd College- high safety
UIUC- reach</p>

<p>The rest I basically know nothing about.</p>

<p>anyone else</p>

<p>anyone else</p>

<p>You got answers to this question on your other umpteen threads. Starting new threads is not going to change the answers to what you want to hear. We’ve posted fact filled responses, but yet you keep searching for a poster that will agree with your ideas and selections of colleges. Either take the advice given or continue on your set path. We can’t change your academic statistics nor can we change the incoming freshman academic profiles of the colleges you have chosen. Good luck and be realistic in your college application process.</p>

<p>I’ll try my best, but don’t hold me too it :wink:
BU-Reach
Northeastern-Reach
Michigan State-Match-I believe you are instate from reading your other posts
Miami-Reach
Indiana-Match
Eckerd-Match
UNC-Wilmington-high match/low reach</p>

<p>I don’t know about the others well enough to comment. Find a couple of safeties.</p>

<p>Just a few of the threads asking the same thing. The bottom three state that you have an ACT of 23. You’ve been given very similar responses from a variety of people on your previous threads.</p>
