<p>Illinois is my home state, but I can get in state in Texas. I’m not in state for Georgia tech but do have ties to the state because dad grew up in Georgia and went to UGA. I will receive minimal financial aid if any, not including merit. My parents are capable of paying 55k per a year but it could be a little hard and they would of course rather go cheaper if the programs are on a similar level. </p>
<p>I forgot to mention case western reserve. Also, do you think I would have a shot at Carnegie Mellon?</p>
