Help me expand my list for engineering

<p>So if we look at some numbers:</p>

<p>UMinn is $23,982 a year
Madison is $25,510 a year
Georgia Tech is $39,308 a year
Northwestern is $58,429 a year</p>

<p>I would need to get something like 50% off on any private school tuition, and that’s assuming I don’t get any merit awards from Minnesota and Madison. I know this is possible and I’m looking for info on Fin Aid from privates like Northwestern and USC, but I only know general income numbers for my family. Can someone direct me to some sort of chart/thread about typical Fin Aid packages to these schools? Thank you once again.</p>
