<p>Do you like UIUC?? I have a friend going there next year for EE.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s definitely one of my highest choices. I just want to see what else I may get into since it does cost a lot of money as I’m out of state. I have friends going there right now and it costs about 45-48k per year (but they say it’s worth it). Especially because their program is highly regarded & it seems like the atmosphere is great, my only problem is the cost. Hopefully I get a decent amount of FA when they send out their packages in April but I highly doubt it cause my stats aren’t amazing + OOS. </p>
<p>Edit: for the colleges I mentioned in this thread, if I do get in they’ll most probably provide a lot more aid since they’re private (UPenn, USC, CMU) or in state (UCLA) so it’s mostly financial.</p>
