So how will you afford Depaul - assuming you can only get $35K a year.
You should apply to meets need schools (after reviewing the NPC), UIUC under the Illinois Commitment program, and I’m wondering about Questbridge.
I don’t know how the associates would be seen by those schools - nor by Northwestern. You might check with an admissions counselor because some schools don’t want to bring in a freshman with two years of classes or won’t give credit for said classes. I don’t know how Northwestern would view your situation (or Rice,e tc.)>
No clue why Madison is on the list or UT Austin - those clearly can’t be afforded.
Good luck to you.
PS - here is your original post - with more responses.
