Being a legacy will only help you get into school, won’t really help much with financial aid. Not to mention 130k students were just denied FA for Illinois schools because of the lack of funds due to the recession. Chances are, decent financial aid will be hard to come by, especially since your OOS like me. Your best chance at getting any money to go here would be scholarships in your area, but it will be difficult to get enough to make the $10k difference in tuition you want.

Fill out the FAFSA and do everything you can, if youre family can’t afford to send you there and you have good enough grades/stats, then you will get something, it just might not be enough. Good luck.
