<p>Here is the link to chance me so you can see where I am.</p>

<p>Do you have any list of good CS college that offers good Financial support in Eastern areas?</p>

<p>What is your state of residency?</p>

<p>From a family income level of $30,000, you probably need a net price after financial aid (grants, not loans) and scholarships of under $10,000 (a realistic maximum student contribution of direct loans and work earnings) per year.</p>

<p>You need to check the net price calculators on each of the schools you are interested in, and your in-state publics and schools that claim to meet full need. Or you can try for a near full ride merit scholarship:

<p>NY, my family’s income is around that; however, my parents and I are willing to loan some money if I can get into prestigious(good reputation) college. I heard North Eastern gives out good financial aid. </p>

<p>That being said, do you know any of a good CS school that I have a chance of getting in?</p>

<p>Stony Brook has a good CS reputation; as a NY resident, its net price may be under $10,000 after financial aid (check the net price calculator: <a href=“Net Price Calculator”>Net Price Calculator; ).</p>

<p>However, you need to figure out your unweighted GPA and conversion to a 4.0 scale, unless the reported weighted GPA uses a standardized weighting used by SUNYs (but you still need to figure out your unweighted GPA and conversion to a 4.0 scale for non-SUNYs even if that is the case). High schools have different GPA weighting methods, so weighted GPAs generally cannot be compared outside of your high school (except in a standardized weighting situation).</p>

<p>My GPA in 4.0 scale seems like around 3.7~4.0. </p>

<p>Any private college suggestions? (I already know which public school I want to apply to)</p>
