<p>I am non traditional student residing in Los Angeles, CA and taking classes online with Northeastern University ( major public affairs). I have 47 units earned at a local JC in Los Angeles and by the end of this spring quarter I will have earned about 23 quarter units at NEU. I no longer want to follow an online program and want to transfer to a four year institution back even if it means losing credits in the process (I don't mind starting back at 60 units if i have to).</p>
<p>I am particularly interested in Harvard but will consider other ivy leagues. The problem is tuition. Having lost my income two years ago, I rely on the income of my husband who makes less than $ 55.000 per year which apparently is not low enough as it does not meet the poverty guideline for me to get $ a generous financial aid package. A year ago, I was admitted at NYU, but unfortunately their financial aid package was laughable and I ended-up declining since I could not afford an expensive NYU education. </p>
<p>I decided that Northeastern ( online) was the best option. While am I happy with them, I am really missing out the physical contact and I am just not being challenged enough. I have a 4.0, speaks French ( NATIVE) German, and conversational Arabic. I was educated in France, and grew-up in North Africa as well ( Morocco). I am also French/North African ( now US Citizen) and have tons of life experience to offer. If not harvard, any recommendation of top IVY league schools that will match my financial needs?</p>
