I was accepted to both Clemson and the University of South Carolina as a OOS (New York) transfer student, currently a sophomore, and both schools basically told me that they offer no need-based aid, grants, or any scholarships in general to OOS transfer students. With a family income of <40k it is just not the least bit realistic to pay 35k out of pocket for either of these schools as a pre-med/pre-PA student… But I want nothing more than to be able to attend these schools at a more affordable price. I hate it here in New York, and cant imagine spending the rest of my college experience here.
Anyway, has anyone had any luck with getting more financial aid after attending a semester at Clemson or even after their first year at Clemson? Or should I expect to be paying full OOS price my entire time there? Thanks in advance to any responders, also fairly new to these forums but have been doing quite a bit of reading lately!
