i am of course not so delusional as to believe that i could get into brown or bowdoin for certain. but it’s certainly a possibility.

Wishing you good luck! For some encouragement my kid posted several chance me threads 5+ years back. His list included several Ivies and top 20s. He got a similar response to what you have gotten.

He kind of laughed it off, took the advice of his GC, put together bespoke applications and focused on his grades. He vowed never to return to CC (which he hasn’t) but introduced me to it.

He graduated from Brown which he choose amongst acceptances including 2 other ivies, Duke and Gtown (and yes he had several safeties just in case).

The well intended CC consensus was that he would get shut out. Point being we are complete strangers, meaning the least informed to chance you.

You asked about finances but given the thread seemed to digress into chance me discussion, I wanted to give you some encouragement and advice.

Listen to your parents and GC, don’t be discouraged, get good grades, write good essays and try and enjoy senior year.
