<p>I’m taking the SATs twice more, I want to try and break into the 1900s-2000s.
If I get that amount from loans, some financial aid, and my Dad gives me 12,000 I should be fine. I already know a couple thousand dollars worth of scholarships that I can easily get from my extracurriculars. Things will be tight, but I’ll be fine as long as the school isn’t more than $35,000.
Now I would REALLY like some school recommendations?
I was wondering about University of Pittsburgh, but apparently they don’t have a very good business program?</p>

<p>Many schools do not give aid to students who aren’t low income and qualify for Pell. An OOS public isn’t going to give you their financial aid. </p>

<p>You need to understand how financial aid works. </p>

<p>Do you know what your likely EFC will be?</p>

<p>I have no idea. My parents haven’t had time to sit down with me and try and calculate anything.</p>

<p>Do you know that most private colleges run more than $50 grand a year?</p>

<p>You could take a look at Alfred:</p>

<p>Instate is not such a bad thing. Rutgers is an excellent school.</p>

<p>You could go to Baruch as an out of state student on that budget.</p>

<p>If you are interested in out-of-state publics, the SUNY schools have relatively low OOS tuition.</p>

<p>Delaware is another popular OOS public school for people from NJ.</p>
