Jr. w/ A- stats + high rigor seeking non-elite options for growth/challenge

Thanks. I was thinking $60 K tuition only, but my numbers appear out of date. Film is kind of unique, so certain selective schools with a higher price tag may be worth it in ROI, if she passed the extreme long shot in admissions. We are still early in the aid process, so need to reweigh what is possible versus desirable.

We have heard some negative things about Chapman in the past, but it has been recommended several times recently so we will revisit that one. She has received lots of interest from USD, so we will be touring there. LMU is also on our list of visits. Are any of these known for good aid packages? I think I may have received some poor advice re: CA schools before.
