<p>Sorry - I should have specified – I meant to say meets Full Need without Loans since you will need to take out loans to cover the EFC that your parents won’t pay.</p>
<p>I was also thinking about the OPs work situation. I know you have a family committment to Nanny your sibling. Do you think your parents would permit you to work as a paid private tutor? That may permit you freedom to schedule the hours you can tutor around your Nanny hours.</p>
<p>I think you should relax until you have more standardized test scores. With the scores you’ll be able to create a customized list of schools.</p>
<p>You will also need to decide what “tier” of school is worth staying in the U.S. </p>
<p>I don’t know what would be required as far as your green card status, but have you looked into what would be required to remain in the US and work a year before attending school? It may not work if your parents won’t allow you to live with them because the cost of housing may be too high handle on your own, but I was just trying to give you some out of the box ideas.</p>
