Chinese adoptee, B student w 5 APs, need lots of finaid - where to apply?

She wants to be with 4-5 hours of NYC. Most of those aren’t close, and I don’t think she’d get much merit aid at the publics and don’t know if she’d get enough at the privates.

@twinanddone Really? Do you like this better?

Since the OP is fishing for aid $$$ she should cast a wide net.

*Colby Sawyer is both financial and stat comfort. Both my kids and I loved this school. Its often overlooked because of the high admit rate. However the kids I know who attend are very bright, motivated and best of all "nice’.
The publics NAU and New College offer susbstainal aid to OOS students.
USF, LMU are all with a very short (Cheep) distance from major airports. Flights from newark frequent and direct and deals abound.
