Oh my goodness. You have certainly been doing your homework! I can’[t wait to hear yoru next updates as those apps start rolling in. I hope you can take a break at least on weekends and enjoy some time off from apps, and rest up a bit so as to be ready for the next phase. Of course there’s always schoolwork, too 
but the apps can be stressful and time-consuming – I am glad you are done with them! Thanks for including me in your update.
By all means, schools whose NPCs don’t show enough fin aid should come off list right away.
Glad to hear that you are moving closer to defining the learning environment you think would best suit you, an LAC. That should help as you approach decision making time.
