<p>I would love to see this student look at those schools, entomom, but at this juncture, she’s saying she wants larger schools in cities rather than smaller towns. I just want to see one to three schools on her list that meet need. Yes, they are super, duper reach for her but it may still be worth a shot.</p>
<p>I’ll be working with her again next week and will advise her to reconsider the size of school. Otherwise, her options mostly remain being a full pay Cal State student and in her area of interest, lots of loans is unwise. UC schools would give her some aid based on special circumstances in their finances, but I’m not sure how much.</p>
