Are schools like Indiana University, University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, etc. very expensive for OOS students? For most schools my net price was in the 25k-30k range, while all of these are around 40k or 50k. Is there a lot of merit offered at these institutions or should I not even bother applying?
OP…go to these schools website and look at the merit scholarships they offer and the requirements. Look at their common data sets to see how many students are receiving non-need based aid. Some NPCs include merit aid estimates, some don’t.
For the three schools you listed, there is limited merit aid…take the time to do your research so you can better target your threads and posters can help you.
