<p>trunl – What State do you live in? Your stats are very low for the CC crowd, but they are not terrible and will be enough to gain admission to many colleges, just not the ones that offer 100% of need. The CC route is certainly one option, particularly if you live in a state with a good CC system. I wouldn’t necessarily eliminate 4-year schools from consideration yet, but it would help to know about the rigor of your curriculum (have you taken many honors, AP, college-level courses?) and your actual rank or decile rank. Also, is that a weighted or unweighted GPA and is it based only on academic core courses?</p>
<p>Are you saying you are expecting an EFC of $0 because your family’s income is quite low or because your parents refuse to help pay for college? If the latter I’m afraid you have some more bad news coming. Give us a bit more information and maybe we can give you a few more ideas on college options.</p>
