First…California offers NO need based institutional financial aid at its public universities to OOS students. So if you were thinking about a CA public university, take that off your list.
Yes, I think it’s not realistic to look at OOS options…unless you have some money that will be able to pay the costs. You need to even check with Nebraska for their guidelines on granting you instate status. Some states would give you in state tuition status, but others would not…because you are a citizen of another country.
Once you have a real SAT score, it will be easier to give you some guidance. Also, can your parents help you with college costs…at all? If so, how much can they contribute.
