<p>Your ACT score is low for most (if not all) of the schools on your list. Will you need FA? Some of the schools on your list are not generous with merit aid to OOS students and the others only give merit aid to their top applicants. Overall, I think your list is top-heavy and could use some (financial) matches and safeties.</p>

<p>What if I bring my ACT to a 27?</p>

<p>^You still would need at least one match and safety, particularly ones that your parents could afford if you don’t get enough aid.</p>

<p>New York University super-scores apparently. Also, if I do not have enough aid I will take out student loans.</p>
