<p>Hmmm…If your parents will only pay about $2k per year, I don’t see how GV would be affordable.</p>
<p>You’re OOS, you can’t commute. You can’t say that the school would cost about $12k per year. The school would cost you (**minus **the scholarship) about $16k in “basic costs” . You really don’t have the means to pay for that. </p>
<p>Your family’s income is too high for free federal aid. </p>
<p>This is what your FA package would likely look like…</p>
<p>$5800 merit scholarship</p>
<h2>$5500 Stafford loans</h2>
<p>$11,300 in total aid…but you’d have over $22k in “basic costs” of tuition, fees, room, board, and books. I’m not even including personal expenses and travel costs…which would be another couple thousand. </p>
<p>And, if you’re doing a sport, you may not have much time to earn money for personal expenses.</p>
<p>Don’t think that GV is somehow the only school for you.</p>
<p>Certainly Ohio has some good schools that would work. What about those???</p>
<p>You have to be reasonable…this school will not likely be affordable.</p>
