<p>DePaul is NOT a safety for you. It’s expensive and doesn’t give great aid. </p>
<p>The fact that you’re applying for outside scholarships will not likely make DePaul affordable. Outside awards are often for small amount and only for ONE year. That won’t pay for four years of a pricey school.</p>
<p>You need to find a safety or two. A safety is a school that you know FOR SURE will be affordable. You do NOT know that about DePaul. </p>
<p>UMich does not promise to meet need for OOS students. The aid pkg will likely already include full loans, so you won’t be able to cover any gaps with a student loan. If you have no adults helping you with college, then affording UMich could be a problem.</p>
