<p>Your SAT is a bit low. Hopefully retesting will give better results. :slight_smile: Also, good luck on the ACT…some kids do better with that. :)</p>

<p>How much will your parents pay each year? If you don’t know, ask. :)</p>

<p>What is your likely major/career?</p>

<p>Once we know how much your parents will pay and your intended major, we can better advise.</p>

<p>My parents told us (my twin brother and I, if that helps you more) not to worry about the cost of college. I can tell you that I would most likely need financial aid, I have a stay-at-home mom and my dad works at North Carolina State University-and appearently there is no discount for being the child of a university employee? My parents did tell me that they have $20,000 in the bank for us-$10,000 each.</p>

<p>Does this help?</p>

<p>

I’m surprised your father would say not to worry about the cost of college when he works at one and should know how much they cost. </p>

<p>Maybe look at UNC Greensboro.</p>

<p>I think they just don’t want us to limit ourselves based on cost.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
