I’m in Ohio so I’d be nice if they were relatively close, but that’s not required.
University of Alabama.
What are your stats?
Montana State University and University of Montana
University of New Mexico, LSU, West Virginia University, Temple University
@Madison85 33 ACT, 3.7 weighted GPA 4.2 uw. 2 APs last year (5 on both Calc and Gov) and 3 next year
National Merit possible but not probable
Alabama would give you free tuition.
What is your major?
What was your PSAT? edit …213…you’re on the bubble, good luck
So funny that so many OOS students are trying to get into Ohio State with aid…Do you have any need or are you looking entirely for merit? Most OOS won’t give much need aid. You cost will minimum be 15 to 20k and that is with a full tuition which is hard to find at many places, only a few will give that. Look at the threads pinned to the top, open and look for the competitive merit thread.
MI: Ferris St; Lk Superior State; to a lesser extent Mi Tech, and Central and Western MI. I think Lake State would be pretty close to full tuition, their oos tuition is the same as in state now, and is around 10400.
IL, KY: Northern, Eastern, and Southern Ill; Northern & Western Ky; You might come close to a full ride at NKY. Do you like Newport 
?
Several in KS, especially Ft Hays St, Wichita State, if I recall correctly.
A couple in MN … St Cloud State and UM Duluth seem familiar.
Not just UNM, but New Mexico Tech, and I think NM State, Eastern NM and whatever it is in Silver City are aggressive price wise. Tech is interesting. I think your tuition would start out at 5-7k a year in Socorro (NM Tech) and it might start less. Cost of living is looooow there.
SD School of mines too, I think.
Ohio isn’t in the Midwest Student Exchange Program, but I think they have some reciprocity agreements with Eastern Michigan and a couple in PA (Indiana U of PA, and maybe Edinboro?) Ball State in Indiana has in-state tuition available for certain counties in Ohio - you’d have to look that up.
In Ohio, Cleveland State, BGSU, Toledo, Kent, Youngstown, and Ohio U seem pretty decent on tuition breaks for good stats. Miami should start you at about half tuition, I think.
Hanover has aggressive scholarships/aid for good GPA/test scores, and Bradley seems likely to come down to the range of an in-state school pretty quick.

Looking to go into engineering, so I’m not really interested in a LAC
Eng’g.
Well then, if you apply before Dec 15th, then you’ll not only get free tuition, but also $2500 per year from Alabama
What do you want your net cost to be?
Do you know how much your parents will pay?
So what is wrong with majoring in engineering at a public university in Ohio where you would at least have instate tuition.
New Mexico Tech is a well respected engineering school. with variety of unique programs/majors, including petroleum engineering and explosives science.
See: http://www.nmt.edu/prospective-students
OOS scholarships: http://www.nmt.edu/scholarships-financial-aid/50-financial-aid/financial-aid/183-scholarships-a-tuition-reduction-programs-for-non-residents
Why does it have to be PUBLIC schools? PRIVATE schools give merit money irrespective of state of residency.
Nothing wrong with Ohio, I’m looking at pretty much all of our schools. I’m just wondering if there are other options.
What do you want your NET costs to be?
Not exactly sure. Cheaper or comparable to Ohio State.

I suspect the OP looks at the sticker price and wonders about how to make that a reality.
I think most of the Ohio schools are going to look like 8-10k tuition for in-state at first glance, but a little digging should bring that down. Looking at your other thread, DD has basically same stats, and we’re exploring lots of options too.
Toledo has pretty decent aid as I recall, plus an active coop program.
the OP should be looking at $0 to $5-6k tuition at Miami, and I’m not too sure about Akron, Kent, Ohio U, Cleveland State, but I bet it’s similar.
We plan to visit Mich Tech and Lake Superior State this month, both of which either offer or come close to offering full tuition. All of these are ABET engineering, FWIW.
An approach is to look at the “middle 50” ACT/SAT scores, and pick a school somewhat lower than that. For instance, if your ACT is 33, look at schools whose middle 50 ACT tops out at 28-30. Since the scores are typically on a bell curve, that 3 -5 ACT points puts you a little further into the top tier of candidates, and competitive academic merit scholarships start there.
To be blunt about it, you might view merit scholarships as paying you to bump the university’s scores up so they seem more desirable to the less well scoring but more able to spend students who may pay full freight.
From the OP’s other thread:
OP, look here: http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com/
Toledo, Cincinnati, Akron, Ohio state should offer the OP some merit and are solid for engineering. Instate tuition should help as well.
The only other engineering school for around $10k (full tuition) I can think of is UA or UAH.
Don’t know if Temple has engineering.
Not sure if privates like Lehigh, Bucknell or U Rochester would give enough merit.
UPitt is uncertain if you will get enough merit with ACT 33 in engineering.
If you do come visit, and are driving, you can schedule at UAH and UA - UA has the ‘fuller’ campus experience and additional honors programs that may interest OP. Look at the info and campus tour info on the www to get pre-exposure. Cheap and easy to apply to both on-line. Can sort out during senior year where you want to attend with all your options. Good opportunities for you to spread your wings outside your immediate area.
Interesting football rivalry with UA and Ohio State - should be another exciting football season. If you are passionate about college football, my bet is on UA continuing to be strong, although Ohio State has certainly got the right coach there for the team to be on top last season. If you are not passionate about college football, you might get passionate when you are a college student.
