Hello, I am currently a senior in high school, and need help choosing a college for me.
These are the colleges I currently have as choices. Also, I would like to be on the pre-med track and ultimately become a pediatrician.
Colleges:
Drexel University (20,000 scholarship)
Binghamton University SUNY (No aid or merit)
Simmons College (15,000 scholarship)
UMBC (no merit or aid)
RIT (dont know about aid or merit yet)
Virginia Tech (but waitlisted, so it isn’t really an option)
In conclusion, please help me choose a college by looking at the school, the money, as well as the major!
Thank you!
Are you in-state for Bing?
You need to post final costs not awards.
@qwerty568 no, I am out of state so it would be 35,000 total.
@gearmom the total cost of drexel is 45,000
simmons college around 30,000
RIT I dont know because I didnt get any money yet
UMBV 5,000
@ksp0597 Drexel is 47k before any scholarships or grants. If the 20k scholarship is over 4 years, then yearly cost of attendance for you will be ~42k.
What is your budget? What will the COA be for you?
@giraffeinatree no, drexel total cost of attendance is 65,000 I think almost 70,000, and the scholarship that they are giving me is 20,000 every year.
all of the aids and merits I listed above are annual Btw
Drexel’s COA is $67,000. Can your family afford $47,000 per year?
Wow… Unless RIT gives you a great financial aid package, I would go with UMBC. None of those schools are worth that much more per year.
Then how much should my family pay for all of these schools. I dont really know how much my family should be paying for college…
Now is probably a good time to ask your parents how much they can pay . . .
