Hello

I was hoping to get a little help/advice. I was hoping that someone could take a look at my profile and give me an idea of my chances of getting into "my top 10".

----Educated in several Financial Investigations

Below is my list of schools that I want to apply to (not in any particular order):
1. ASU

3. UC San Diego
4. U of Arizona

Allright, here's the rough deal good sir:

1. ASU- Competitive
2. UT @ Austin - Stretch
3. UC San Diego - Strong
4. U of Arizona - Good
5. Georgetown - Stretch
6. UC Davis - Stretch
7. UC Irvine - Competitive-
8. Texas A&M - Competitive+
9. San Diego State - Strong
10. U of North Carolina - Competitive

I like that you have some criminal investigation stuff, it could make for some great stories. Plus if you have significant leadership in sales or in your life of fighting crime it could give a nice boost to your app.

Overall, if you apply to two strongs, two stretches, and two competitive schools from the list above, you can have good hopes.. although its always better if you apply to more. All you do is leave more options open for ya
