SCU lists their COA at $71,778 a year (direct cost $66,621)

The US Dept. of Education’s official “College Scorecard” site puts the “average annual cost” for SCU at $34,425. That seemed close enough to the OP’s $30k budget to make it worth mentioning, especially given the OP’s high stats, which seem like they could possibly qualify for merit aid.

OP should run the NPC.

Of course. College Scorecard is only a rough first approximation, the NPC would be a better guide. And after running the NPC, SCU may or may not be affordable. As I previously acknowledged, it is not as wealthy as other CA privates, and is not known for amazing financial aid. But it seemed like a potential option.
