Definitely understand the price issue in those top schools. The first year, ill have need based aid where it applies so that buffers some of it out. I’ll check it out with my parents again.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! I didn’t know whether to put UIUC in target or reach, so I agree. UMD has been added though! Thank you!
One question: by the affordable but semi-elite schools, which ones are you talking about? Which schools would those be? Just for my reference.
Thank you again!
