As of right now, i am most interested in northeastern. With the scholarship i am only left to pay the room/board which is 13,000 (expensive bc its in boston). But this is the least money i would have to pay so far. I also love boston and could see myself going to northeastern.

My brother and sister are not applying to any of the same schools as me, they are looking at many state schools (in NY)

and at this point cannot apply to any other schools.
===========

there’s not only room and board…there are other costs, too. There are books, and maybe also “course fees” or other fees …these can really add up.

How will you pay for the room, board, books, and any fees?

It doesn’t sound like you have a real “financial safety.”

How much will your parents contribute towards YOUR costs each year?

Your siblings may not really be saving your family any money if they go to NY schools. If their EFCs aren’t low enough, your family may be paying full freight for those schools…when you have 3 in school and little aid…it can be very expensive.

Why can’t you apply to more schools??? You don’t have a financial safety unless you know for sure how you’d pay for the uncovered costs at NEU.
