<p>Thank you so much for the school suggestions! Researching them now. </p>
<p>EmmyBet: </p>
<p>I think they would LOVE full-ride like the HOPE, but if I get a decent scholarship towards a school closer to 35,000 they would be thrilled. The thing is, I have two other siblings. One going into 7th grade, one same age as I. Let’s say their chances of maintaining the HOPE are more questionable. With financial aid and a scholarship, I could possibly afford a 40-45. I just need to work my tookus off once I can officially drive, get a job, and put it towards college. I might be able to make a small dent in it. </p>
<p>Those were the ideal ones I researched in New York. I’ve also looked at CMU, Boston, Emerson. </p>
<p>Also, I was thinking, what are the possibilities of me doing undergrad somewhere and grad maybe closer to NY? What would the benefits to this be?</p>
