Can you name some cheap 'reach' schools I could attend?

While I so have a few reach schools that I'm looking at l, they are all very expensive. Could anyone reccomend a reach or two that is 30,000 and under? ( with room and board included in price)
To see my stats, refer to my last thread about language requirements.

I plan to major In business management

Northwestern Business is outstanding. Good option.

Northwestern costs quite a bit more than $30,000 a year, though.

Usually it will be your best state school, or an honors college in state. I don't know what a reach school is for you, and you don't state what your match and safe schools are. Most reachy type schools don't offer business mgmt as an undergraduate degree. Don't overlook Economics, or Entrep or Commerce at a good school. That will make you more prepared than some vocationally oriented schools.

Are you thinking that you won't qualify for any financial aid? With aid, the sticker price is not very relevant; your Expected Family Contribution from your FAFSA form will be the starting point for calculating cost at most schools.

Rice is generally cheaper than comparable schools, tetrisfan, but if the OP is really receiving no aid, it will cost at least $40,000. Also, looking at the OP's stats, Rice or Northwestern would both probably be very high reaches. I think a state school is the best bet here.
