<p>My family currently would be considered to be in the low- to middle- income range, and I will likely be paying for a large part of my education.</p>
<p>Do you have a source of money? If not, then how would you be “paying for a large part” of your education?</p>
<p>YOU can only borrow $5500 for frosh year. That probably would only cover tuition at your local state school, and nothing else.</p>
<p>Take all of the OOS publics off your list. You won’t be able to pay for them. </p>
<p>Another issue is that the privates that give good aid will require higher stats. </p>
<p>To have a chance at getting a good FA pkg, you’re going to have to include some schools where your stats are comparably good. </p>
<p>Look at NM Tech school. </p>
<p>You’ve got your two AZ schools on your list. Do you qualify for any assured money from your state to help pay for those schools?</p>
<p>You may need to start at a CC and then transfer.</p>
