Admitted to University of Arizona…applying to ALL these schools: Look at the history of scholarships. Don’t under-estimate your stats. I really didn’t need to apply to so many schools between 50-100. Public schools in the 20s-50s can be generous. No need to apply lower if you are my stats twin. Look at **509s and employment stats before applying. I…
