I’m definitely not good money wise so Rutgers does seem to be the smartest choice it’s just hard to think about “what if I went to umd or udel or penn stTate”’

That’s like having a budget for a Toyota with a rebate in one state, but thinking…“what if I bought the Toyota without the rebate in another state?”.
You’re still getting the SAME car, but crazily paying more (which you can’t afford anyway!). There will be NO DIFFERENCE. These are state flagships. Same schools in different states.
You don’t have a choice since the money isn’t there!
There is NOTHING special going on at any of those other schools.
