<p>I don’t know where to start or stop. I will take any tip little to big, don’t worry I won’t bite. Or jest say hi :)</p>
<p>Do well in school, score high on tests. What more do you want?</p>
<p>There is a sticky at the top of the financial aid/scholarship area about financial aid. It contains a LOT of threads with a LOT of helpful information about the financial aid process. I would suggest you read through that. It has tons of “tips” in it. Then come back with specific questions.</p>
<p>Find out how much your parents will pay each year for college. That information along with your stats will largely determine where you can go to college.</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>How much will your parents pay?</p>
<p>What is your likely major?</p>
<p>I see…</p>
<p>Hi, Nasa. The tip I like to give most people is to look for the safety/likely/affordable schools first and build your list from there. It is so much fun to cherry pick the big names and big bucks schools and day dream about them. Not a problem to include some on your list, but those schools are easy to pick since they are the names you hear over and again. Looking for the good buys and schools that want you that also fit your needs and that you like, that your family can easily afford is the tough part of college search.</p>

• Cost and admissions are not a big factor,*</p>
<p>So, have your parents told you that they will pay $50k+ per year for any college?</p>
