<p>You should drop the out-of-state public schools. With a few exceptions, out-of-state public schools are not going to give substantial aid, and they are very expensive due to out-of-state tuition. For public schools, you need to look in your home state, or look at schools that give substantial merit aid that fits your stats, or look at the small number (e.g. UNC, UVa) that meet financial need.</p>
