<p>Hi I'm from Illinois looking for a school with a decent engineering program, preferably bio or chem. 33ACT 3.9 GPA. Kind of want to go OOS because I hate illinois. But I can only pay a COA around 15k a year. My parents are only giving me 2.5k a year and the rest is up to me. So I am definitely looking for some good merit money and hopefully some FA as well (50k income). So Purdue is out of the question haha. I've been looking at mizzou, missouri s&t, NIU (22.5k a year automatic) and vanderbilt ( I probably wouldn't get in though).</p>
