Have you look at texas schools?
Where do you want to go to school? What do you want to major in? What size of school do you want? What other characteristics are you looking for in a school? How much can your parents pay?
You’re an auto-admit to UT and TAMU. Can you afford them?
Location doesn’t matter as long as it’s in a city with a lot of internship opportunities!
But I want to go out of state.
And I want to major in business, hoping to go onto MBA later in life.
Size of the school doesn’t matter.
Because we’re from a low-middle income family that earns $50,000 (EFC around $7000) I want it to be a private university with generous financial aid.
I prefer the city area rather than a college town, so I won’t be applying to TAMU. UT is my backup “safety” school just in case I don’t get accepted anywhere I want to go.
I thought Rice University was a reach school for me… Their stats on college confidential are intimidating
