<p>The main ones I'm looking at are Florida state and Arizona state. Mainly because these are some of the cheapest publics out of my hometown (CA), they have my major, and because these are a couple of my top options (i visited these cities and I love everything about them).
However, my family is running low on money. I know the fact that OOS publics don't give much financial aid, but I'm willing to do anything I can to get some money to attend them. Any ideas?
I have great grades right now, I'm a minority, and I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet but I hope to get good scores on those too.
Please I don't want any negative comments degrading my chances of going to them. I just want help on anything I can do to INCREASE my options for money to go to these universities. Thank you so much. Also, if you know anyone who went to an OOS public, or even if you did, share any experiences.</p>
