<p>Oh, and I WILL be applying for finaid. I’m aware that some of these schools don’t award very much money.</p>

<p>Also, I’ve already gotten into Millersville University in PA. But can anyone tell me my chances at their honors college? And also at Temple’s honors college?</p>

<p>Thaaaaaanks.</p>

<p>I say slim chance at JHU-- just by looking at the pretty low SAT.</p>

<p>Yup yup. That’s my über reach. But I’m hoping that I also have some more realistic schools on my list, too. Thank you.</p>
