<p>You’re a strong student who will likely get accepted to a number of schools.</p>
<p>You have OOS publics and some pricey privateson your list.</p>
<p>What is your home state?</p>
<p>Have you asked your parents how much they’ll pay each year? If not, you should.</p>
<p>OOS publics don’t generally give much/any need-based aid to OOS students, and some of those on your list don’t give much/any merit scholarships… If your parents won’t pay the high OOS costs, then a number of those OOS publics may not be affordable. </p>
<p>If you need financial aid from privates, you’ll need to find out if you’d QUALIFY for the amount of aid you need. </p>
<p>However, if your parents will pay $55k+ per year for any school that you want, then you’ll likely have a good number of choices.</p>
