<p>CUNY, you would get money back and if your EFC is below $3k, you are exempt from paying the fee.</p>
<p>Stony brook, if you have a full tuition scholarship, you would get the pell and the loan, leaving you a little short fees and incidentals (you would just be able to cover room and board for the term).</p>
<p>Iron maiden is correct (went local for undergrad, did not hurt my chances of getting admitted to an Ivy grad school for 1st grad degree, then a to 20 school when I went on to get 2 additional masters). It is not the name of the undergrad, but what you do while you are in undergrad. At the end of the day, it is all about GMAT/GPA, LSAT/GPA, MCAT/GPA</p>
