Match a Rising Senior!

So back to message one. Your family makes $75k and you are an Ohio resident.

Cornell, Rice and CWRU. have your folks fill out the net price calculator and see if it works $ wise. Cornell has no merit aid btw. The other two do but not to get to your price unless they show you have need (it’d be need aid).

Your UCs - you can’t go cheap - do you have $65k+ a year and travel money ? Why I mentioned Alabama. You need to follow the money, not the name. Any in state flagship or major college will be fine so OSU, Miami, Cincy, Ohio U. Take the UCs off the list financially you can’t make it work. They give little to no aid OOS.

You need to redo your list. Check NPCs. If they are too high, then remove those schools …at least Cornell as the others have merit.

Your OOS publics - for low cost u need schools like Bama, MS State, directional and more but frankly staying in-state is your best bet and Ohio has many good ones. UVA and UNC meet need OOS So u can try a Hail Mary there.

Good luck.
