<p>Well, I assume Baylor is out, that much should be clear.
Based on Baylor’s estimation of need based aid, seeing how WPI isn’t richer it’s probably out too - the wild card is that they tend to be more generous for female applicants.
Clark, UCR, and UMN-Twin Cities are the next leading contenders. I’d pick either Clark or UMN-TC over UCR because they’re stronger and would show you another part of the country; both universities are actually very different: one extremely large flagship in the middle of a very green and very dynamic (if very cold) metropolis, one smaller, closer-knit university that’s in some ways similar to a LAC but with excellent opportunities, in a so-so city but near many excellent Northeastern cities.
I’d guesstimate that you’re in at UPS, UCD, UCI, and UCSC, so cost-wise as of now it looks like it’s Agnes Scott vs. the UCs.
Many of the universities on your list meet need but offer little merit, so I’m not sure they’ll be as affordable as the options above.
Carleton, Emory, Stanford, Swarthmore were always reaches, and still are. “you never know”.</p>
<p>With so many universities, you should have plenty of good choices.
Even if Twin Cities vs. Clark vs. Agnes Scott may not be the choices you’d prefer, they’re all excellent, and they look relatively affordable.
So I’d relax if i were you. Congratulations: you’re going to college. And you won big enough scholarships to have some desirable choices that won’t break the bank.

<p>What budget do you have? Do you have to to be under 30,000 or can you go as high as 35,000? If you have 20-25,000 offers, will that be a game changer vs. 30,000?</p>
