You stated in another thread that you are from Indiana. With your parents’ contributions plus full-time summer work earnings, IU or Purdue should be affordable. There are good merit scholarship opportunities at some southern, midwestern, and southwestern flagships, where costs might be similar to your instate flagships if you qualify for those scholarships. There aren’t many private schools where cost of attendance would be within your price range, unless you can get a full-tuition scholarship. Have you taken the SAT or ACT? PSAT? If so, what were your scores?
