Hello, I’m currently a Junior and I’m asking for your opinions on what colleges I should start looking at. Are there any that I’d be able to attend for close to free? Price is a big factor, I’m curious at the possibility of going out of state, but it will likely not happen.
FSU has been my dream school for a long time, but I want to expand my options.
[Location]- Florida
[Intended major]- Marketing
[Average GPA]- 3.6. Strong upward trend in grades
[Weighted GPA]- 4.1
[Rank]
Top 10% of Class
[Rigor (Including this year)]
AICE Program, I have taken 7 AICE, 4 Pre-Aice, and 1 Honors classes.
[ECs]
Nothing special. I am an officer in one club and all I do is play basketball and run track.
[Additional comments]
-May finish with 10 AICE classes
-Most likely will graduate with an AA.
-Have not taken the ACT and SAT yet, however I’m determined to get a minimum of 32 and 1350 and I will study hard to achieve that.
-I’m attempting to and will most likely finish with a 3.7 and 4.3.
I cannot see myself thriving in a class with more than 50 people.
Here are some options to shoot for: http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com/
Your ACT/SAT are key

What are your parents saying about how much they’ll pay?
At most schools, they will have some classes with more than 50 students. don’t know how having 45 students in a class is much/any difference than having - say - 60.
Being ‘determined’ for specific level of ACT/SAT score…just start testing, and see where you stand. Then focus on the one where you can move the needle. What your ACT or SAT score can determine some affordable options.
@Erin’s Dad Thank you for the list.
@mom2collegekids My parents have been vague about how much they’ll pay, but I cannot see them being able to afford paying more than 16k a year.
@SOSConcern I understand what you mean. I’m just trying to set some goals to strive for.
Some people test high very easily, and some are not ‘natural’ at it.
16K a year is a little above Room and Board.
Start testing!
If price is a big concern look for schools where you can use your Bright Futures.
