>>one safety school which is instate but i DO NOT want to go there>>
It's not a safety school if you would NOT attend. A safety school is a school to which you are highly likely to gain admittance AND a school that you would like to attend. Otherwise...it's just "another school...that is easier to get into".
Have you discussed your college finances with your parents? This is something VERY important for you to do. YOU will not be able to take out a $20,000 loan each year in your own name. You don't have the collateral to do so. A bank will not lend you that much money because if you default..they have NOTHING to attach to lessen their losses. In addition, $80,000 for undergraduate debt is TOO MUCH...way too much (and I don't care what profession you think you might be entering...there are no guarantees there either).
You really must discuss college finances with your family. How much are they willing and able to contribute annually to your schooling? Do you currently have a job..or two? How much can YOU contribute annually to your schooling?
And if it were me...I'd be finding a safety that is affordable, where I would gain admittance AND where I would be happy to matriculate...if that becomes the choice.
Are you currently a senior??
