Chance me - Political Science or Business

Congratulations on all of your accomplishments in high school! I think you will be a very interesting candidate to a number of colleges. By the way, you may want to remove the name of your poem in the magazine, the name of the anthology, and the name of the County District Attorney to help keep your anonymity.

As others have mentioned, Penn State, Michigan, and UCLA will be unaffordable for you so those can be eliminated. Apart from the SUNYs, the colleges on your list are reaches. You certainly have a shot, but the odds are against you. Run the Net Price Calculator at each one to see if they’re going to be affordable for your family. If not, eliminate them. Also, since you seem to have a number of smaller to medium colleges on your list, you may want to think about adding colleges like SUNY Geneseo or New Paltz.

I would also take a look at some of these schools private schools which seem to have some of the lowest net prices for low-income families.

• Beloit (WI)
• Dickinson (PA )
• Franklin & Marshall (PA )
• Gettysburg (PA )
• Scripps (CA): women’s college
• Skidmore (NY)
• Trinity (CT)
• U. of Richmond (VA)

Just saw your ACT: that is an excellent score! You definitely want to submit it.
