<p>Because of family situations, I will not likely receive any financial aid, but with 4 kids going to college I’ll need some help. I live in PA so the closer the better. I’m thinking schools perhaps between 2000 and 10,000. I think I will be a National Merit Scholar and have a GPA of 3.9, SAT 2320. Thanks!</p>
<p>As a NMF, you should consider the schools which offer full tuition to students simply on the basis of NMF status:</p>

<p>Often not what CCers consider top tier schools, but you should be able to find at least one which would fit your needs. If nothing else, if you like one, it makes a great safety in every sense. DS will be at Bradley in another week. For you, Denison might be worth exploring (not exactly urban/suburban, but kinda close to Columbus - and PA). Bradley, though further away, might be to your liking, and we were also impressed with Evansville.</p>
