I had to pay for the majority of my 2 years at CC by myself. >>>>

The above doesn’t bode well. A CC is what?? At most $4k-5k per year, but the OP had to pay “the majority” himself!!??!!

Unless the parents are having some new feelings about paying for college, they why would they pay much more now??

I think the OP is clinging to hope that some school will magically ignore his parents’ income and ignore that he’s a transfer student, and throw gobs of money at him. What he doesn’t realize is that a 3.9 from a CC isn’t that unusual, and schools don’t have much motivation to throw money at transfers.

I think he’ll end up at Rutgers because of money, but the truth is…as an upper division STEM major, he’s going to find that all of his classmates are just as strong or stronger than he is. All the weaker students got weeded out frosh and soph years.
