@MedSciBud this is NOT true…

Most colleges meet 100% of demonstrated financial need

There are over 3000 colleges in this country and about 300 of them guarantee to meet 100% of need for all admitted students. The rest do NOT make this guarantee. The very vast majority of colleges provide federally funded aid primarily, state aid, and a little of their own.

The colleges that DO guarantee to meet full need for all are amongst the MOST competitive in this country. The OP had an ACT score of 22. He says his SAT score is better, but really…to be a competitive applicant at most of those meet full needs for all schools…he would need to have a very high SAT score. VERY.

@Blankeed are there any public universities within commuting distance of your home? If so, see what the tuition cost is…some of the public universities in Ohio have relatively low instate tuition costs.

You say you are low income…but HOW low? What was your FAFSA EFC this year (did you submit the fafsa?)?.

Can your parents help you out at all with college costs?
