no surprise, rent in miami is expensive as is!
it is my dream school though so some sacrifices will have to be made
If youâre not a resident, then Florida public universities will not give you FA.
If youâre homeschooled, having AP scores or DE grades will matter for admission.
Knowing a lot of foreign languages is good, especially if you have external verification (Cervantes Institute certificate, DELF, AP scoreâŠ) but itâs most useful if one of them is a critical language (Russian, Turkish, KoreanâŠ) and you apply to a Critical Language Flagship (where you study thst language to a high level, combined to the major of your choice. The universities range from Bryn Mawr to UWisconsin to Western Kentucky University.)
Big city+ finance doesnât quite evoke Florida to me but to each their own 
and UMiami would be a good choice for these parameters.
Always run the NPC on each college and definitely before you apply ED anywhere.
Rollins has more standing than UTampa (socially&academically) and their Business Management major is AACSB accredited (not common for this type of school) with quite a few finance courses. But indeed they donât have a full finance major.
If you @dizzlemynizzle like the vibe at UMiami, you would likely also enjoy UAlabama (where you qualify for an automatic scholarship and Honors College admission).
Colleges in/near cities that could be good for finance, exonomics, quantitative econ, accounting, or actuarial science: Fordham, NYU, Drexel, Penn, Temple, Northeastern, Bryant, Bentley, American U, Loyola Chicago, DePaul
Less obvious: Drew, UPuget Sound, UCincinnati, UMN, UWisconsin, UAlabama, WPI, GMU, UNC-Charlotte, GA Tech, OgglethropeâŠ
Run the NPC on these since they run the gamut omin terms of costs and look into those that are affordable since they also run the gamut in terms of sleectivity.
By whom? I would suggest you not elevate this college to dream school status. You need to know that you can afford to attend.
Why are you thinking of applying binding early decision? You are supposed to do your due diligence about costs before you apply EDâŠand you are supposed to accept the offer of admission if it is offered to you. Yes, if the aid is insufficient, you can decline.
Run the net price calculator.
And what special connections do you think you can make at University of Miami that canât be made elsewhere?

You need to sit with whomever is paying for college and run all the financials including housing costs. Do some research about housing availability for upper classmen that includes cost with inflation. Look into how much their tuition has increased ever the past few years.

It depends. Which schools are you applying to? You have to cross the academic achievements threshold first. And at many schools that will be sufficient.
So in short, we cannot answer this:
Without knowing more about your situation.
You tagged California colleges. What schools in California are you considering?

Thanks. But now that this thread has merged and we have context, please disregard my question.
