<p>Again, PLEASE, PLEASE stop giving the OP schools he won’t be able to afford! No CA state school gives much aid to OOS students!! Cal Polystyrene will cost $30K with no aid.</p>
<p>And I agree with Erin’s Dad, Perdue is not going to offer anywhere near enough money. They do not meet need and the OP does not have the stats for big merit.</p>
<p>Tiena, it’s time to do your homework. Have you read the financial policies of the schools you’re applying to? It doesn’t sound like it or you’d know what Purdue’s need based aid policy was. If you’re old enough to go to college you’re old enough to do serious research and understand financial aid. It likely with your list you will end up at a Nevada State school. That’s not the worst thing, but if it isn’t what you want your list will need to be much better considered.</p>
