D26 EA/admit after deferral chances, 3.75 UW/4.0 W/ 1210 sport management [MA resident, <$30k without loans]

Ohhhh. I missed that. Great question.

The student can only borrow $27k over 4 years, $5509 the first.

Frankly you don’t want loans - especially in this field.

I’d stick to the three ins although no idea where LSU ends up.

Definitely add Ms State. Here’s another biggy - $44k this year but you get $11k in merit - WVU. They’re BIG TIME in sports!!

Others I’d look so you can avoid debt -

W Carolina - it doesn’t have the spirit but it doesn’t have the debt. U South Alabama is another.

Souther Miss is $26k tuition, room and board and you get $5250 off.

Central Michigan is $28k the first two years and $30k the last two but she gets $6k off so less.

Bowling Green about $38k but at least $4k if not more in merit.

Marshall is $34k. Has a BBA with Sports like UMASS. Merit is $3k.

From
w Carolina through Marshall - all are D1 so have spirit, etc. all have football that can go to bowls etc.

Honestly I’d scrap UGA and U of SC. If she gets in, you can’t afford. Why face that ?? FSU - you can with a reasonable loan.

Don’t forget - it’s not just tuition room and board but books, travel, pizzas out etc.

Sorry to be a downer but you do not want loans !! She’s going to need loans from you to live in her first working years !!
