<p>Okay, I see.
You have till May 1 to reply, though. Try to get a few admissions and financial aid awards, then compare.
Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket, so to speak.
If you like Massachuestts, check out the following:
Clark, Elms, Regis, Curry, Lesley, Suffolk, Endicott, Wheelock, Assumption, Bentley, MCLA, Springfield, Stonehill, Wentworth. There’s also Umass Dartmouth but I agree UMass Lowell sounds like it’d be good for you. UC’s > Lowell, but Lowell can be better than CSU’s, so graduation rate should factor in as well as cost and class availability. Did you say they gave you a scholarship? How much would it cost?
Fill out the “request information” form on each college’s website - see which ones offer you a “free” application (or if the application is free already). You don’t have much to lose, right? :)</p>
