<p>Absolutely no chance for need-based aid with those numbers – but my daughter was offered small merit awards from both Northeastern and Fordham with stats that were better, but not by a whole lot (roughly the same SAT, weighted GPA over 4, with uw around 3.8… top 4% class rank) – so you might get a slight discount. I remember Northeastern offered a $10K merit award, Fordham’s offer was combined with need-based aid so I don’t recall the details. Northeastern could be a good option cost-wise for a full pay student because it also give students an opportunity to earn a significant amount of money via the co-op program – which for the OP would allow the parents to stretch out tuition somewhat and probably allow the OP to earn a significant portion of his living expenses during the later years of college.</p>
