<p>Thanks for the reply, but as you can see I don’t think I can get in at those wealthy colleges (or am I just underrating myself?) So far the best options I’ve found have USC, Clemson, and WUSTL. If you know any good colleges that are within my range who are known for need based aid, please let me know. And I’m going through a lot of schools’ Net price calculator but most of them are in the 20k range.</p>
