<p>I think the list is fine as long as the family understands that the reach schools are just that and that getting a generous package at OOS publics is not going to be easy. There may be specific awards for OOS kids with great stats that the young man could get. Without those, he will most likely not get need met. The same could even be true for his state school if there is not an automatic scholarship for those stats. Few, if any state school guarantee to meet full need, and most kids are gapped who need aid. </p>
<p>One school where the young man would be very competitive for a full ride is Pitt. It would be a safety for admissions and a good strong match for scholarships. Case Western is another possibility.</p>
