<p>I’m a GA resident, and I can afford to about 50-55k (but I only want to pay this if the school is really good, like CMU or MIT or something). If it is a safety, I do want it to be lower, like max 25-30k.</p>

<p>Based on common data set information, UIUC appears to be slightly more selective than Georgia Tech. Minnesota (Twin Cities) appears to be somewhat less selective. Virginia Tech and Cal Poly SLO appear to be a bit less selective than that – a median freshman at Georgia Tech would probably be around 75th percentile at these schools.</p>

<p>You can probably get a good idea of how you stand at San Jose State by calculating [CSU</a> GPA<a href=“same%20as%20UC%20GPA”>/url</a>, using that and SAT or ACT scores to calculate [url=&lt;a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”&gt;Cal State Apply | CSU]CSU</a> Eligibility Index](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU), and then checking [SJSU</a> Admission](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1208.html]SJSU”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1208.html) .</p>

<p>All of these are in the $30,000 per year range cost of attendance (for out of state students).</p>
