Also consider SUNY -Buffalo and SUNY Stony Brook. The NY state schools have (relatively) low out of state tuition, which could be reduced further with some merit scholarships (if they offer them). Likely to get some merit scholarships (perhaps not large, due to GPA) at U of VT, and Delaware, and perhaps U Conn. It’s hard to predict if the scholarship $$ will bring out of pocket costs to around $20K at these places. Search their web sites for merit scholarships and criteria. State universities, in general, tend to be fairly transparent about the cutoff grades/scores needed.
