Chance me and Match as a student from NJ [3.7 UW, 1420 SAT, biology or neuroscience]

You’re being hopeful and not realistic.

The way to be more realistic is to go on that website and use the NPC to calculate your estimated funding. Given that current funding issues are affecting students and will be limited, you really have to get a baseline of available funds.

If you plan on going medical school, which is what we did for our kid, a lot of money has to be put aside for fees. So it’s a lot of money. Your parents may not be able to fund everything that you need for med school.

Once you get your NPC estimate then make a list of schools that are affordable.

Your parents may want to pay for ivies, but their income level, and collateral, may not qualify them for what you all want.
