i think both UVA and Vanderbilt are good choices but as you say a little
bit of a reach. It’s hard to find out of state publics that would give significant
aid, sat scores are a little low. University of South Carolina might be a
possibility. Clemson does give considerable merit aid but I don’t know what
kind of SAT scores you need. Unfortunately with your EFC I doubt you’d get much federal aid other than loans so with that aid, work study and your payment you’re only
bringing about $15,000 to the table. Your best option is probably instate,
Miami of Ohio. If you go private chances are you will have to pay a lot
more than $8,000. Your best bet there is probably smaller instate Lac’s.
Denison and Wooster would probably give you considerable merit aid.
