$42k x 4 years is $164k a year, much closer to $127k than say Dartmouth at $63 which is 252 total in four years with out tuition increases. and if i get any scholarships…</p>
<p>@amtc At least to me I feel like they are worth it. I may not get in but if i do i might be able to afford them. But if i apply to Cornell it is more likely i will get in but i probably wont get enough aid to go.</p>
<p>@UCBalumnus SLO, i did not realize that. The GPA recalculation was why i was considering it a safety With out freshman year i have a 3.91.</p>
<p>@monrath The financial situation is just that, parents combined make about 150k per year. There is 102 thousand in my college fund. I’m sure they could contribute out of pocket but not more than a few thousand per year. But take for example i just ran the npc at princeton and it said an EFC of 31000 which is affordable.</p>
