<p>All of,the schools on your list are going to be costly…$45,000-$60,000 a year. NYU and BU are in the $60k per year range. The others will be above $40,000 per year. None guarantee to meet full need…and they don’t. </p>
<p>You need to find out how much your parents are able and willing to contribute annually to your college costs. Then you need to sit with them and so,the net price calculators for those colleges. I’m suggesting doing this with them because you will need their income and asset information to complete the NPCs.</p>
<p>Also look on the websites to see if any of the schools offer guaranteed merit aid for your,SAT/ACT scores and GPA. I believe that BU and NYU do not offer any guaranteed merit awards…but maybe the others do.</p>
<p>Then check the stickie at the top of this forum for guaranteed merit awards…and see if you qualify for any of those.</p>
<p>OOS public universities typically do not offer much aid to OOS students as their mission is,to educate the kiddos of their tax paying residents. </p>
<p>You would be wise to look at one or more of the public universities in your state. You may find these to be affordable, and as noted above…most large universities offer a wealth of new people to meet. It doesn’t have to be out of state.</p>
