Is a full scholarship to ANY of these colleges possible?

<p>Is it possible, is the question. The short answer is YES. Those colleges all have given some students full scholarships. They have given some OOS students full scholarships. They have given some OOS non athletes full scholarships. The question is whether you will have the stuff they want badly enough to give YOU a full scholarship. None of them guarantee or give 100% of need to OOSers; most don’t even do so for their own state students. I daresay that unless you are some highly desireable superstar, they won’t be giving you a full scholarship unless you have near perfect SAT1 scores as well as a high GPA. In that case, some of the top private schools in the country like Harvard, Princeton and Yale would be schools that should be on your list too, as they pretty much guarantee to provide a full pay package to those in your financial situation. The schools you list do not.</p>

<p>So if your stats are way up there, it doesn’t hurt to give those schools a shot, along with some private that guarantee to meet full need. Whatever your stats may be, you should have a school or two that is guaranteed to take you and guaranteed to be affordable, like an in state public. NY has programs that make it possible for anyone to go to college. A local commuting option to a SUNY or CUNY would fit that description. You would be eligible for PELL, loans, TAP and some other NY programs from what I can see.</p>
