<p>I was hoping for merit-based aid from USF specifically.</p>
<p>My family’s budget is very complicated because my parents are divorced and a few other factors, but money should not be a huge factor (I have demonstrated need-based aid as far as my mom goes, but I do not when it comes to my dad’s income. However, I reside solely with my mother and am unsure if my father will want my mother to pay for part of college, which she is completely unable to do. It’s complicated - sorry if that is TMI)</p>
<p>I was thinking more in terms of “likely” schools when it comes to admissions/statistics, schools that I am more likely to get into than not and schools that I have a very good chance at.</p>
