@Corinthian Yeah, I’m definitely applying ED 1 pomona since it’ll be a lot easier but looking at the Pomona thread, everyone is so competitive and I don’t have the greatest gpa:(((
Some state schools are low cost enough that even their out-of-state costs are competitive with IU and Purdue in-state costs (e.g. Truman State, University of Minnesota - Morris, both smaller LAC-type schools). Some may offer big merit scholarships for your stats (e.g. Alabama; see http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com/ and (if you have National Merit) http://nmfscholarships.yolasite.com/ ).
@ucbalumnus Yeah I might look into other LAC-type schools as target.
