<p>Hi I'm a senior from Alaska.</p>
<p>Binghamton is probabaly one of my reach schools on my list. I want to go into engineering but be involved in a lot of music, and it seems Binghamton really fits into the picture. </p>
<p>My ACT scores: 34-english 32 math 31-reading 24-science (30 composite) </p>
<p>My SAT score's supposed to come in like two days. </p>
<p>AP chem-5 AP history-4</p>
<p>GPA 3.8</p>
<p>If extracuricular activities and leadership matters:
- Varsity letters in Swimming and Cross country skiing
- I've been accompanying the school choir on the piano for a long time (since middle school)
- NHS member
- All State Solo vocals</p>
<p>So can people who got in tell me their stats and how much financial aid(including grants and merit scholarships) they received? Would I even be accepted? I come from a not so well-off family (parents gross income is about $56000/ year) and my parents are telling me that I have to go to whichever school's the cheapest. So far on my list is:</p>
<p>Alabama State -
I can get full tuition scholarship plus $2500 a year, but it still comes down to about $11000 a year for me. I'm hoping with federal grant the price will come down.</p>
<p>University of Alaska Fairbanks -
I'd have to pay $2500 for tuition and about $5000 for other expenses. I don't know how much grant I can get yet, so I guess it's about $7000 a year.</p>
<p>Louisiana State -
I can get full tuition, but other expenses still come down to $12,590.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? I'm really frustrated over how I'm going to choose my college(and my future)</p>
