You should have no difficulty getting in. The top 25% of OOS gets some token merit aid - your GPA will probably put you in that category.

Your chances

I think you're a lock. You stats are plenty good enough. PLUS, CU loves
out of state students. The tuition they pay keeps their boat afloat.
Are you considering UNC Chapel Hill?? Would you get in there--
or do you want a change of scenery??

i am going to apply to unc chapel hill, i just don't really think i'll get in (but if i get in, i'll def. consider going). i think a change of scenery would definitley be a nice, and i do like cu-boulder and what it has to offer (i'm interested in the business school)

is there good merit aid for oos?
