I think I responded to you on your other thread.

I agree that you should apply to Binghamton EA, and possibly other SUNYs that have EA so that your safety schools are secured. Maybe add ‘Bama to that group, though with the SUNY STEM initiative, it’s going to be difficult to beat that cost—but that award has its conditions.

There are other OOS public schools that also might have good merit for you, as well as some private schools like Hofstra, UDenver, Fordham, Tulane and you certainly should give them a try if you want those options.

Though UCLA, USC, Boston College, Boston U and NEU do give out merit money, getting the dollar amount you will need will be lottery tickets. But no reason why you can’t give it a try. You have your site affordable things secured, no reason why you can’t shoot for the stars. I think Cornell, if affordable, as I said in the other thread might be a good possibility too.
