<p>Have you looked at Missouri S and T?
We visited and my daughter loved it. It is on the list, she is waiting for all scholarship offers to come in before making a decision. Also Mississippi State has a really good Engineering program.</p>
<p>which is possible after we finish off my grandfather’s estate</p>
<p>So, does that mean that your parents’ assets are going to soon be a lot larger? If so, that will change your EFC.</p>
<p>Have your parents said that they’ll spend some of the estate on college? </p>
<p>Ask your parents how much they’ll spend each year regardless of the estate. '</p>
<p>And run the NPC with the estate as an asset…because at some point you’ll have to declare those assets and your EFC will change.</p>
<p>Did you already apply to Berkeley? If not, it’s too late.</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>Firstly, I’m a junior, so I’ve got a year. No, they haven’t said anything about the money we’d get from the house and antique sales, but I presume that part of it (however small) would go into college, split between my sister and I I’ve got 3.55 UW, 3.8 UC W, 4.2 W, 36 ACT, and too many subject tests to count.</p>
<p>Mizzou, Rice, UMiami, Clemson, and UF all look pretty good. I’ll look into them further.</p>
<p>Once your family gets the proceeds from the house and antiques, your family’s EFC will rise with those assets.</p>
<p>Your UW GPA may be a problem for Rice. You probably would get merit from some of the others.</p>
<p>What was your PSAT?</p>
<p>You might look at USC. They love high test scores.</p>
<p>Cal poly has an exceptionally strong engineering dept (quite selective relative to the school at large), and values high test scores (no essays!). San Luis Obispo is a fun college town, not too far from the beach. Winters are mild though not balmy. Lots of access to internships and excellent job placement for engineers.</p>
<p>Does SLO do WUI, by any chance?</p>
<p>If you’re referring to WUE, no. You can see the list of WUE schools [url=<a href=“http://wue.wiche.edu/search_results.jsp?searchType=all]here[/url”>http://wue.wiche.edu/search_results.jsp?searchType=all]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>Spelling…ow. Whatevs, the money should appear somewhere. Thank you everyone who answered. I will certainly consider Viterbi and SLO.</p>
<p>You’ll be full fee at Berkeley-assume $50K+. The state has no money so they will accept you but you’ll be full pay. They try to reserve Merit monies for in-state students.</p>
<p>I take it’s the same for SLO/Pomona?</p>
<p>Yes. They’ll expect you to pay over $30,000 a year. I wouldn’t choose Pomona over U Arizona or ASU’s engineering.</p>
