What is your budget?
Did you run the NPC for UVM? For us is was exactly accurate. Given that your parents are separated, it might be accurate or might be too optimistic for you (reality might be worse than the NPC predicts). I do not know whether you would qualify for the presidential merit scholarship. Regardless I would be surprised if you would get enough aid given your comment “need a lot of aid”.
Are you sure that you would be in-state for both Massachusetts and Texas? If so, given the high quality of the public schools in these two states, you might be better off to stay in-state in one of them or the other.
@DadTwoGirls okay, thank you, that info is helpful! yes, my absolute dream schools are ut austin and texas a&m, but i am trying to prepare in the event that i’m not accepted.
I do not think you will get the aid you need from UConn. Are you applying to UMass Amherst? What can your parents afford to pay?
For bigger merit, you might look at some of the CTCL schools. Clark in Worcester has a marketing major. Wheaton does as well and also gives great merit.
@taverngirl ok thanks. do you think i have a chance of getting accepted in general though? also, my efc is around 5k.
With an EFC of $5,000 per year, your priority needs to be finding a school that you can afford. You should try to minimize debt as much as you can. You should be running the NPC on schools that you are considering. One concern that I do not know much about is how accurate the NPC will be with separated parents, but reality is not likely to be better than what the NPC predicts.
We know someone who was in a similar situation (a friend of a daughter with divorced parents and a low EFC from Massachusetts). She did two years at community college and did very well (nearly all A’s), and got accepted to U.Mass Lowell with a significant scholarship. I am not sure if it was merit based or need based or both. She is doing really well there, can live with a parent to save money, and has a major that is very likely to lead to a good job.
This is a very economical way to get a marketable degree from a good university. You might want to consider something similar.
@m0tionsickn3ss maybe a high match? But with an EFC of $5000 it doesn’t really matter if you can get in because the likelihood of you getting that kind of FA from them is slim. DadTwoGirls gave you good advice.
