Chance me for Boston University (ED) and NYU (ED2). 3.5 UW, 1400 (extra test pending), Aerospace Engineering. Nontraditional transcript [FL resident, <$20k]

I think that USF is likely, but I am not sure that it is a safety. RIT might be likely for admissions, but affordability looks questionable to me (apparently it does not meet full need, and you need a lot of financial aid with a budget of $20,000/year).

I would be somewhat surprised if you were to get accepted to any of BU or NYU or UF. While it might happen, I would not expect it.

I would be very surprised if Michigan were to end up being affordable, even if you do get in. Your stats also seem low for Michigan.

I think that you need to look for more (or at least some) affordable safeties. My best guess is that these are likely to come from in-state public schools, but I will admit that I do not know public schools in Florida much particularly other than UF.

And if your parents graduated from universities outside of the US then you are not “first generation”.

And with a $20,000/year budget, the cost of education needs to be high on your list of considerations.
