<p>US Newsweek says that these schools generally offer about 50% off, which would make costs around 20000. Can someone verify if this is true or not? If your parents' combined income is ~90000 from both parents per year, and have a couple of siblings, how much fin aid do you think they will offer? </p>
<p>My stats are >2300 SAT; Top 5% HS taking almost all AP/Honors all years, Straight As, and a rather general extracurricular (not too impressive).</p>
<p>I guess acceptance is the first step to finding out what schools will give you. However, from looking at your stats, UMich is a question depending on if your out of state, cause its harder to get in, and what major you choose to go into. BU should be acceptance and BC is a most likely acceptance.</p>
<p>My parents make about the same amount as yours and we get about 25,000 in financial aide which includes grants, loans, and scholarship for CMU. The key however is scholarships. Good luck</p>
<p>UMichigan offers much more prestige than BC or BU.</p>
<p>^^ I disagree.</p>
