<< aunt bea so basically, the one school I really wanted to attend and could have gotten into, I can’t attend due to cost? Why do I even bother trying to be happy>>

@LordObito are you looking at the SUNY schools? That’s going to be your least costly option, obviously. Or check out University of Central Florida in Orlando (if you like nice weather). My D2 was just accepted there. Big school, LOTS of majors. Not as expensive as the CSU system for OOS students.

As mentioned earlier the big constraint for the CSU schools is impaction - but even if admitted you have to be realistic about the costs. We estimated about $37,000 per year for D2 all-in (tuition, fees, room & board, books, personal). And as I mentioned earlier, it would be VERY difficult to get out in four years. Better budget for at least five. (That’s true for UCF as well, btw).

You might check out private colleges in CA if you have your heart set on that state. Private school tends to be way more expensive than public BUT 1) there are more scholarships available sometimes, and 2) you have a higher probability of graduating in four years.

Good luck!
