<p>I’ve run NPC on several schools and generally got around $30,000 or a little higher (one thing I forgot to mention is I have two siblings also in college which probably helps me). So I’m hoping for some merit scholarships and am willing to take out students loans as well if I need. I feel good about NEU, BU, and GMU in terms of merit based scholarships/affordability (I’ve done a lot of research).</p>
