Oh, you had a post prior saying - where can I go for cheaper - was that you - and you got lots of choices that weren’t cheaper.
I think in this case, you stick with UNC and NC State as an assured - and go for W&L, SMU, and if you like UGA and other b schools with full ride home runs -put in for a few.
But if you’re the same, you also had career goals that UNC might fit better with.
I’d simply re read the last thread but throw out all the schools that don’t meet your goal - cheaper than UNC.
Why are you so against UNC - other than direct admit, etc.
btw - you might add W&M to your list and its 1693.
Just know everywhere is a high reach because you’re highly unlikely to get the money you need.
