<p>where could I apply to? i seriously have no idea. I am interested in Political Science, Business, International Relations and I am really interested in going to law school</p>

<p>I am definitely budgeting. So i am mainly looking at public schools. If i were to go to a private school then i would definitely need financially aid (i still would need financial aid even at a public school) but i dont think i would even be able to considered =( my parents use to make alot but now they are both retired (they are 60+ they can no longer work anymore)
I just came back from a visit to University of Delaware. I liked it a lot and i think i can get in..
i really want to go to
Public: UVA, UNC, Lehigh, UCLA, UC Berkley, University of Michigan, Penn State
Private: Boston College, George Washington, Georgetown, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Emory</p>

<p>Im also really interested in McGill. there entrance requirements (B+ in the department i want to go into) are not as high as say Harvard but it is an excellent school with a great reputation.</p>

<p>anyways do i have a good chance at these schools? what about financial aid? ahh im so stressed about school!</p>

<p>Many publics are not much cheaper than privates. Michigan and Berkeley cost just about the same as the ivies and top LACs, yet the give little need based or merit aid to OOS students. UVA and UNC do give need based aid to OOS students but that won’t help you if they don’t determine you have need. Their few merit scholarships take very high stats.</p>

<p>You have several privates that meet need only. So again, you need to determine how schools will see your need. If your parents made a lot and have assets, your need could be seen as low. If that’s the case your main choices will be your in state publics and schools where your stats are at the very top of the pool that give big merit aid.</p>
