You need to apply to a school where you can make budget.
So you need to look at the NPCs of schools like Miami, RPI, RIT, Lehigh, Illinois Tech and more.
Then you need a safety that will 100% make your budget - like UAH or Truman State.
And a school that may make budget like SUNY ESF or Geneseo.
Who is on your list now that’s a safety and affordable ? That is the most important school - not the WUSTLs of the world.
Good luck.
