Well I live in Illinois and do not want to go to Uof I

Why?

What are your parents saying about how much they’ll pay? If they won’t pay the costs for an OOS public, then your choices will be limited.

What are your stats? SAT, ACT, and GPA

If your parents won’t pay the OOS costs, and you want to go OOS, then consider schools where your stats would give you enough merit money to bring costs down to what your parents will pay.

Iowa State has a really low OOS cost (about $29,000 per year) and also offers lots of scholarships to OOS students

To say that a school offers lots of scholarships to OOS students is misleading. That suggests that if you’re OOS, you’re going to get a scholarship…so not true.

At schools that are known to give merit scholarships, it depends on your scores and GPA. If they’re not high enough, you won’t get any merit money.
