You can run the NPC on UCLA and UCSD; Cal Poly Humboldt (great safety for marine science) and Cal Poly SLO; Eckerd, URI, UNCW which would not meet need but offer merit; and, just in case, Stanford and Bowdoin, since both not only meet need but are very generous - if these 2 aren’t under budget you can cross out any college that doesn’t offer merit.
Costs at Irish or UK universities are fixed and listed under International Fees (or Tuition). “Accomodations”= dorms, self catered= no meal plan, “catered”= breakfast and some hot dinner included (nothing like the restaurant-like college cafeterias at US colleges though).
