“4. You can afford to attend the school (for all four, five or six years).”

If you ask for financial aid, there’s no way to know for sure (though the Net Price Calculator gives an estimate) until you apply ED and, if admitted, get the financial aid offer. If the offer is insufficient, you say thanks but no thanks, and apply elsewhere RD.
