Seriously? Why?

Ok…your chances. BSMD programs have extremely low acceptance rates. So they really all are reaches.

T 20 schools also have extremely low acceptance rates.

You don’t mention any specific schools here so it’s sort of hard to chance you specifically.

And you don’t mention any annual college budget. Is there one?
