<p>Hi guys, I was wondering if you could give my chances of getting into
Northwestern, UNC, UMichigan, Rice University, Vanderbilt University, UVA, Emory, (and other schools of similar caliber). and the Ivies too if you think I have a shot. I'd like to transfer to one of these schools, because my parents don't make enough money to help me out with my education (Expected FASFA contribution is $0) and I have had to take out about $9,000 to $10,000 in loans for my freshman and sophomore years at the University of Maine. The schools I'd like to transfer too are supposed to give full need based aid without loans to their students (according to FinAid.org), so if I could get in that would GREATLY reduce my debt after graduation. Plus there is going to be more opportunities for me at these other schools, so its worth a shot. Please let me know if you think I would get it or not. Id be looking to transfer to the school for the start of my junior year.</p>
