Sorry, but part of becoming an adult is accepting reality, which is that you probably can’t afford it. Nobody gets to go to a particular school just because they really, really want to, even if they get admitted. I’m sorry to be harsh, but that’s the way it is and you’re better off acknowledging that and applying to schools that you can afford to attend. As an OOS student, you should not expect any merit aid, assuming you can get in (your stats are on the low side for OOS students - look at other threads on here).

Every school has a Net Price Calculator. You need to sit down with your parents and realistically determine what you can afford. As you are probably aware, law school is also ridiculously expensive with not much merit aid; most grad students pay for school with loans. If you are going to go that route, then you need to go to an undergraduate school that will not leave you with much if any debt.
