@mom2collegekids - Purdue is not a state school, rather it is a public university. Examples of state schools are SDSU and SJSU.
For now, forget the tuition and board fees. I need to know which schools I can guarantee to get in for next year. I need at least 1 or 2 safeties for now without worrying about costs.
@Gumbymom
I know that state universities aren’t bad, but I am really trying to get into a UC.
Is LMU a match for me? - I know it is REALLY expensive and all, but I just want to find out if my stats are good for engineering at LMU.
