Chance me for Tufts, Barnard, Northwestern, Pitzer (4.3 GPA, 1380 SAT, CO resident) [3.95 unweighted GPA, <$20k, environmental science or geology]

If you are from Colorado, save the trouble of Umass. You’re not getting close to $20k.

For the privates, has your family run the net price calculator ?

It’s an interesting list population wise - very mixed - small and large etc. have you considered WUE schools so you can achieve budget without need just in case ?

You need to make sure the NPCs show your $$ amount - and on many apply TO.

Good luck.
