Chance me - Political Science or Business

So many household obligations is another EC. Make sure you write about them.

So your race and your first gen will help and I wouldn’t be able to chance you.

I assume SUNY A is an in - and with NY TAP hopefully it will be affordable.

I assume you’re a Senior? So you missed Questbridge…just making sure.

You will not be able to afford Penn State or UCLA - so take those off. What is your budget?

To get a full ride, you need to apply for - and many have them - but specialized scholarships like the Johnson @ Washington and Lee or the Frederick Douglas at American. There are some southern publics with full rides but not likely for your stats. Many schools have diversity scholarships - so you can look there too.

Some schools won’t have business - so if it’s business you might want - for example, Colgate grads do well in business but doesn’t have a business major.

I’d rather see you add a few LACs (if they are of interest) that meet 100% of need - such as Franklin & Marshall, Oberlin, Dennison, Lafayette, Trinity, Connecticut College - they won’t all have business (like Colgate) but they are easier admittances. Or U Miami or Rochester as a bigger school.

I’m sure being first gen and a URM will help - but I’m just not qualified to measure how much. But on the merits, I think while you’re a fine student, you are overreaching a bit.

and likely the SUNY schools are your best bet.

Good luck
