Chance a Venezuelan girl for Cornell Brooks + Other reaches (3.7 UW, 1400 Superscore) [FL resident, low income; sociology, psychology, public policy]

Pittsburgh should be reclassified:

  • If $23k is affordable, it is a safety. But that seems unlikely with family income of $37k (financial aid offices commonly expect that you can come up with $5.5k direct loan plus $3-5k work earnings part time in the school year and summers, which falls short of $23k).
  • If $23k is not affordable, and there is no pending financial aid or scholarships that would reduce the net price to <$10k, then it is out-of-reach (effectively a rejection).
  • If $23k is not affordable, and there are pending financial aid or scholarships that could reduce the net price to <$10k, then it may be a match or reach depending on the likelihood of such financial aid or scholarships.
