Please chance me: UF + other top schools [Male, FL, 35 ACT, 3.9 GPA UW, 5.3 GPA W, top 10%, competitive public hs]

It’s great that you have bright futures and all those AP credits! I would strongly encourage you to stay instate for your undergrad and use your budget for grad school! UF is a fabulous school! In the top 10 for public schools! You have wonderful options in FL!

The cost of attendance at the Ivies on your list are up to $90K+/year. They only give need based aid. You can have your parents run the net price calculator to see if they’ll meet your budget. You as a student won’t be able to take out student loans to make up the difference.

Also don’t forget that applying to these schools is a ton of work. There will be supplemental essays for each of these reach schools that will need to be answered with care, and most won’t be reusable.
