@privatebanker Thanks for the help! I’m possibly considering UVM and UNH as well as UMaine (since they offer discount tuition).
@DadTwoGirls My family is from Washington (specifically around the Puget Sound region). UW is an amazing school and I’d love to go there.
I’m not a huge fan of living in the New England area. I don’t mind it, but I was raised in the western US (moved to Massachusetts this past summer).
As for UMass Lowell, I visited the campus and hated it. However, I am looking into Worcester State and UMass Boston.
My parents agreed to pay me a certain amount per year, so once I fill out the FAFSA and get my scholarships from schools I’ve been accepted to. After that, I’ll weigh that into my decision.
I think I have a lot of safety schools and don’t know if I should apply to more difficult schools. Here are the schools I’m PLANNING on applying to:
Montana State - Accepted
UW - Reach
Western Washington - Target
UMass Amherst - Target
UMass Boston - Safety
Worcester State - Safety
CU Boulder - Target
UConn - Target or Low Reach
University of Alaska Fairbanks - Safety
South Carolina - Safety
Puget Sound - Target
Hofstra - Target
