too many out of state public universities?

<p>UNC says they will meet full-need (as they define it). Quite hard to get in to OOS, however (out of HS; transferring in is much easier if you are OOS, but I don’t know what the fin aid promise is in that case). The others do not guarantee to, but if you’re high stats and they want you, they’ll probably cobble together an attractive merit & fin aid package. Look in to merit scholarships at all of these places. You may need a fair amount. I know that Georgetown doesn’t give any merit aid.</p>

<p>UCI, BU, and I believe American and NEU have some big merit awards. I haven’t looked in to GMU but they almost certainly do as well.</p>

<p>BTW, this is a rather eclectic list. What’s the reasoning behind them?</p>
