Quick question: non-NMF but 2400 SAT?

Well, I still need to have the sit-down, formal finances discussion with my parents.

Our EFC is basically full tuition, but with three soon-to-be college-aged kids (I’ve got two slightly younger brothers), it will be a big stretch to pay full price at the costs of some of these schools. My dad has made it pretty clear that there is no way my parents are paying 50k/yr for any school (he’s a college dropout so he’s not really sold on the CC-outlook of life haha).

So my plan as of now is to bulk up my college lists with financial safeties, some “regardless of price” schools just to see, and then some schools that are potential candidates for merit aid.

That way I can have plenty of options as I go further in this crazy process… I’m just trying to figure out schools for those first and last categories.
