<p>Do you have any suggestions as to specific schools that I might want to look into?</p>
<p>Right now it’s mid November. It’s too late just to be “looking into schools” without needed info since NOW is the time to be submitting apps if MERIT scholarships are needed. </p>
<p>Ask your parents how much they’ll spend each year. You NEED this info. If their position is that they’ll only pay the equivalent of UM-CP (or even less!), then you need to QUICKLY get a list of schools that will be affordable to you. If your parents cannot pay $55k+ per year, then Duke, Rice, and UChi will NOT work out since those schools will expect your parents to pay full freight. </p>
<p>If you don’t want to go to UM-CP, and since you WILL NOT qualify for any need-based aid, then you need to QUICKLY apply to schools that will give you good-sized merit for your stats. </p>
<p>Right now, the schools that give good-sized merit have approaching deadlines…many schools’ scholarship deadlines are Dec 1. </p>
<p>If your parents won’t pay the $55k per year for OTHER schools, and you don’t want to go to UM-CP, then you’d best quickly get some apps in to schools that will give you large scholarships for your stats. Otherwise, it will be UM-CP for you.</p>
<p>What is your GPA and test scores (include SAT breakdown)?</p>
<p>How much will your parents pay?</p>
