Are you either a US citizen or permanent resident?
Do you have any budget restrictions? If need be, are your parents okay paying $400,000 for a bachelor’s degree with no debt and no hardship?
Are you considered in-state for your local public universities, and if so then for what state?
Do you know how your grades compare with others in your high school? Do you have a sense regarding whether you are top 10%, or top 20%, or whatever?
