<p>Stony Brook? Syracuse University?
But they both don’t give much aid based on NPC, unless I’m wrong? </p>

22

<p>Brandeis? </p>

23

<p>If your EFC is 0, are you applying through Questbridge? I would strongly encourage doing so. And are you URM?</p>

<p>Im Asian, so no. I am not going through Match, I am doing ED for Penn, this is sort of a backup plan. </p>

<p>If you want Penn State, Abington campus is supposed to be 15 min from Philly. They have a general engineering program, you do 2 yrs at Abington and 2 yr at Great Valley. Tuition is about $14,000.
They have an open house Aug 7th.</p>

<p>Yea but they cost too much, we can’t afford more than 10k a year.

<p>Tuition is $14,000 with pell and state grant you should only have a shortage of $4,000, you might get work study or take out a federal student loan of up to $5,500.You would be commuting so no money for room and board.</p>

<p>Most of these other schools you listed require you to be accepted and get enough need based aid.
Some are also pretty far away, so travel costs will be higher.</p>

<p>Also when are the ED and EA deadlines? You said you were retaking SAT.</p>

<p>You need to have some safeties you know will accept you and you can afford.</p>

<p>Temple and Drexel pretty much…
I’m retaking in October, I will have about 20 days to write the supplements. </p>
