OK - so at $35K, and I’m looking at tuition, room and board (not extras) is $40K.
U of Kansas
At 3.95, she gets $16K a year. At 3.94, she gets $14K per year.
I have to start recommending this school more. Great college town. Fantastic Honors program - no idea if she qualifies. The state has access to reproductive rights in the constitution - you didn’t bring that up - but many do - and given the cost - it seems a home run.
You have great in state choices already - but this would be a safety at your price. Journalism is strong there and I Imagine film too.
Mississippi State is $41K all in. Your student would get at least $16K off, perhaps higher if the UW by their calc is over 4.1. So that will be well under budget too. It’s a well thought of school here in the South with a beautiful campus. I didn’t look but guessing Ole Miss is this way too.
That’s just a few more options.
Good luck
