<p>Agree 100% with cptofthehouse - you have to pick some schools and go through the NPCs for each.</p>
<p>For example, if my son went to Maryland, there is no guaranteed grant based on his GPA or SAT scores, and as an OOS student, he would pay our full EFC of $30,000 <em>and</em> full loans, no grants.</p>
<p>But at RPI, they have an automatic “you’ve got the scores, we’ve got the grants” program, so he would get about $25,000 worth of grants. He’d still need loans for the rest, but that’s $100,000 different over four years for loans.</p>
