UCLA and NYU are not Ivy League schools. But more important…neither school guarantees to meet full need for all accepted students. In addition, UCLA gives NO financial aid to out of state students…so scratch that one.
Stanford…great school with terrific aid…IF you are one of the 5% of students who get accepted. Same with the schools in the Ivy League. IF…and I mean IF you get accepted, it’s possible you would get excellent need based aid. But with acceptance rates in the single digits, these admissions are not a slam dunk.
PLUS you are just now in 10th grade. How would you even know if you could be a competitive applicant for these schools.
And lastly…UNC-CH is amongst the top universities in the country and guarantees to meet full need for all. Hoping this school is on your list eventually too…
