College Options for a Student in a Unique Situation

<p>You might as well apply, see what aid you’ll get. If you can get around 30-35k per year in aid (which I think you are well qualified for), you may only end up paying 10-15k which is around what you’d be paying for instate publics. Even if you end up having to pay 20k, which I see as the absolute maximum you could ever have to pay, I think your parents would at least pay 10k of that and you could work off another 10k. Obviously include safeties bound to give you nice merit, but don’t scratch them off your list yet. Good luck!</p>
