You go to private. Talk to your school counselor.

So first off - you have $35k a year. So you need to build a list for $35k.

So here’s my thoughts -

Purdue - in

Miami - run NPC bit remove - if full pay will be $70k plus I don’t think you get in anyway - ie reach

U Cincy - in but check NPC. If not $35k, no reason to apply. I expect it will be.

Wisconsin - reach and remove on cost

CU Boulder - in but remove on cost

Tulane - reach / remove cost

UGA - reach, likely remove cost

Clemson - low reach, remove cost

Florida - reach / remove cost

Michigan - reach / remove cost

Notre Dame - reach / remove cost

Vandy - yes / unlikely cost

IU - yes

Vandy - reach / remove cost

Terrible list. Sorry. When you have a budget you need to bo build for cost. You picked names but have no way to pay for them.

So you have IU for sure, Purdue highly likely and U Cincy I think. Miami Ohio worth a shot but unlikely.

Look at other flagships - WVU, U Kansas, Alabama (assuredly gets you there financially with pad), Miss State etc if want more options or more in state like Ball State. Also schools like New Mexico, Tennessee Tech, Tennessee Chattanooga etc.

But your list has a lot of time wasting and effort in it.

If you are thinking pre med, check out Alabama and the McCullough Program.
