I’m going to echo the good advice you’ve gotten and suggest you have a frank discussion with your parents about the high cost of college, the loan limits for students/parents and the insane competitiveness of Ivy League schools so that they have a realistic picture of the college landscape. Then you need to find out what, if anything, they would be able to contribute each year towards college. It’s not at all realistic for them to expect you to borrow everything for school - the limits aren’t high enough and you don’t want to weigh yourself down in debt in any case. Once you have a number (which could include anything you make from a part time job and working in the summer - which I strongly urge you to do), then see how the NPCs match up with what you can afford.
