<p>I was deferred ED at Brown and accepted at Tulane with a $17,000/year scholarship. I have a brother at USC now and two students there would cost an unbelievable amount of money. He receives some aid but not much. I don’t want to go too deep into debt so I’m concerned about how I could afford USC if I got in. My family is on disability but we still make a good amount of money ($100,000-150,000). Could you shed some light on my admission chances to Marshall (double legacy) and my financial options? Thanks!</p>
