<p>*It would help if the college has a low out of state tuition rate or offers a lot of scholarships for students like me. I’d rather not apply to a California/UC/CSU school because I’m from a middle income, out of state family and the out of state tuition would be too much for my family. *</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>You need to apply to schools that either give awesome financial aid (if you qualify), or schools that give big merit. </p>
<p>I don’t think UF or UMinn Twin Cities would be affordable unless you’re in state for one of those schools. </p>
<p>What will your major be and how much can your family contribute? Can they pay at least their EFC?</p>
<p>Quick EFC - this is a rough estimate<br>

<p>You could try Chapman U in Calif because it meets need.</p>
