S16 would like to take a flier on applying to one west coast school. The good: 1460 SAT, almost lock for NMSF. The less good: GPA,of 3.3. The ugly: D’s on transcript. He wants to major in math and minor in film studies. We’re not destitute, but we fall into the “high income but high cost of living” category. This means we’ll probably have to depend on merit aid. Any ideas out there?
FYI
Look at the column for non-need based aid
