<p>I got into a few schools, but it’s too expensive. My parents SUDDENLY are against me going to the school I want to go because of finance. My mom supported me for four years, telling me how finance isn’t a problem, but suddenly shocks me by telling me to give up and go to my local university. ***?</p>
<p>So any good schools out there that have open applications? IDC about finance, I just want to see which one’s are open.</p>
<p>“IDC about finance”</p>
<p>How much can your mother afford? </p>
<p>The truth is that many, many parents are surprised every year when they find out how much the colleges and universities expect them to pay. And even parents who did know, and did have the money two years ago, may not have it now because of the problems in the world economy.</p>
<p>Here is one list you can check out [Late</a> & Rolling Deadline Schools](<a href=“http://www.petersons.com/ugchannel/code/LateDeadlineSchools.asp]Late”>http://www.petersons.com/ugchannel/code/LateDeadlineSchools.asp) maybe you will find a good fit.</p>
<p>Are your parents encouraging your local university so that you could live at home and save money?
Would the “local university” meet your academic and financial needs?</p>

<p>Well, since time is VERY LIMITED and you don’t want to waste precious time applying to MORE unaffordable schools, YOU DO need to care about finances. What’s the point of applying to MORE schools that you can’t afford? You need to CAREFULLY target affordable schools.</p>
<p>So…what state are you in?</p>
<p>Ask your mom. “How much can you pay each year for my education”</p>
<p>(Frankly, she may be thinking that she can only afford the local state school where you can commute to…or a state school and room and board. Either way, you need to know the facts!)</p>
<p>What are your stats? weighted GPA and ACT and/or SAT score (include SAT breakdown).</p>
<p>What is your likely major?</p>
<p>Um. I can pay about 10K cash and currently I have 10k worth of scholarships. Right now I have to pay 20K after all the federal help. The school is not offering me anything but loans, I called them and they said thats the best for non residents… Which is really sad.
3.8gpa weighed, 590m, 510w, 520cr (1620).
Trying to major in business.</p>
<p>I can take out loans for as much as I want, but the problem is paying for it later, which my parents are strongly against.</p>
<p>“I can take out loans for as much as I want”</p>
<p>Actually, you probably can’t. You can get the Stafford loans, and if your parents apply for a parent PLUS loan and are denied, then you can get more loans from that category. However, unless you have a co-signer, it is really unlikely that any bank is going to write you a loan for the rest of the money.</p>
<p>20k x 4 years = 80k which is just plain too much money for you to owe when you graduate from college. To get an idea how long this would take to pay off, run the loan repayment calculators at [College</a> Calculators - savings calculators - college costs, loans](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Calculate Your Cost – BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>which is why I mentioned paying for the loans later. And my parents have excellent credit.</p>
