Match Me - D26 - Biological/Ecological Engineering/Bioengineering [NC resident, 3.8-3.9 GPA, <$25-30k]

OK - thanks for the clarification. I saw Freshman.

In that case, the guidance still remains - does the student have a preferred campus type.

That said, given the status, estimated test, etc. - Michigan State and Oregon State will not hit budget. Nor will Clemson, Va Tech or UGA. And a non affordable acceptance is the worst thing.

UNCC would be a solid target school for this student.

You might try Iowa State, Kansas State, and Mississippi State - which aren’t assured to hit cost. UAH is another depending on SAT.

Of course, the major will matter too.

Good luck.
