<p>

</p>

<p>This will be your biggest obstacle.</p>

4

<p>Definitely. I am fully aware of this obstacle. I wish I could do anything to make it gone.</p>

<p>Then, what good of a shot do you think I have ?</p>

5

<p>Unfortunately, I’m not really well-versed in admissions at the schools you listed, but best of luck! Someone on these boards must know.</p>

6

<p>Thanks for you input though. ANyone ?</p>

7

<p>Any other suggestions ?</p>

8

<p>Only a couple of those schools are international-friendly, especially those needing FA. Go find ones that are more friendly to people like you as safety schools.</p>

9

<p>So what do you think my odds are at these schools on my lists ?</p>

<p>Do you have any suggestion for “safer schools” since I don’t believe that international students requiring FA can have any safety ?</p>
