If you’re not sure, ASK YOUR PARENTS.
What do you mean “we don’t know exact numbers”?
Those universities are very generous, so it’s quite possible all typical “100% need” colleges are unaffordable and you should focus on public universities with good merit aid.
You’re going to need some exact numbers. If the NPC is giving you a cost per year that is too high for your family to afford, you need to think about how to meet that gap. If it’s $5-8k a year, you can probably do it with loans and work. If it’s a lot more than that you may need to take that college off your list.
It sounds like Tufts/ Brown came out cheaper for your family than UMass, is that right?
@OHMomof2 sorry for not responding for so long, I started my internship and I have become pretty busy. But yes, a lot of high tier schools ended up being WAY cheaper for my family than UMass. If I recall correctly, MIT ended up being the cheapest at around $9k a year. But a lot of the Ivies, like Princeton and Brown, which my family could afford, but would be pretty unlikely of me getting into. However, my matches came out at about in between $25-40k a year, which is out of the price range.
Does anyone know of schools that give good merit aid that I might be eligible for? If @MYOS1634 @merc81 @Chembiodad @CrewDad @OHMomof2 don’t mind chiming in, that would be great. I really appreciate the help from everyone! Since my parents didn’t attend college, it can be challenging to get college help sometimes
I am a student at Gustavus Adolphus College! So I’m pretty bias but…https://gustavus.edu/roe/rankings.php
@dancingwithStars: it may be useful to recap your major, EFC, and stats at this point in the thread since we’re on the 5th page already.

@DancingwithStars I think you have a very good chance at many selective, generous need-based aid schools. But you’re right to have some matches and at least one safety, which has to be financial also. Sounds like $10k/year is what the top schools are telling you your family would pay and that’s doable.
So. Your initial match and safety lists don’t have any meet-full-need schools (except I guess Holy Cross but you said the NPC was too high), so some that are a bit easier to get into but meet need might work better than those, especially the matches. Take a look at these: http://www.thecollegesolution.com/list-of-colleges-that-meet-100-of-financial-need/
Some of them are less selective than others. The women’s colleges are mostly easier to get into since, well, only women can apply, if that’s something that appeals to you.
Your first post says " I don’t want to go to a medium sized school, hopefully close to a city. And I wouldn’t want to go too far from home, and I would probably stay in the New England area, and maybe be willing to venture down into New York or Washington D.C." - I’m thinking “don’t want medium” is a typo and you DO want medium?
