You have mentioned the expensive costs on several of your posts. While your parents say they will pay…please please try to get a budget for annual costs from them. You say you would like to have $40,000 a year as your target price for “tuition”. Did you mean full cost of attendance? That full cost is what you need to look at…including tuition, fees, room, board. Not just tuition.
You will need to run the net price calculators on all the schools suggested on this thread. Many are good choices but might end up being too costly. Also, you mentioned you want to be in or near an urban area. Some of the suggested schools are not (e.g. Elon, William and Mary).
This is what you currently posted: VCU, American, UVA, Georgetown, Northeastern, Emory, UNC Chapel Hill, Elon, William and Mary, and CNU
My opinion….UNC Chapel Hill, Georgetown, Northeastern, Emory are your least likely for acceptance…those reaches…and likely for both admissions and cost. These schools give very little merit aid and it’s very competitive.
CNU, Elon, VCU seem like decent matches… it again…how about the costs for Elon?
William and Mary, and UVA are VAs most competitive schools for admission.
Since you have WM on your list….what about James Madison?
If you really want a UNC school…what about Greensboro or Charlotte? Still, OOS costs might be a problem.
Which Boston schools? Many of those will be on the very high end of what you are hoping to spend…or higher.
You have a great GPA, and great ECs, etc.
Since some less urban schools have been suggested…I would suggest looking at Stonehill.
