<p>oooh, de la salle is a good one! </p>
<p>nevertheless, since you’ve been raised american, even de la salle is nothing compared to american schools. shoot for top private schools that meet full need, lower-tier private schools that give tremendous merit-based scholarships, and public financial safeties. once you get all those acceptances, see what your family says THEN… maybe they’ll help you cover the rest. </p>
<p>at worst, you’ll be taking out slightly more than average in loans. but you’ll have everything you want–an american college degree. </p>
<p>…it’s worth it. best of luck!</p>
