Run the Supermatch engine on the left side of this page. Keep TAMU in the mix. Ask you parents how much they are willing to pay each year and run the Net Price Calculator on each school’s web site.

Do you need to stay near home to run your business?

-What’s your EFC?
-Do you need/want to stay close to home?

Here’s some southern good schools with computer science, under $30,000:

-University of Oklahoma
-Georgia Tech
-University of Tampa
-Berry College
-U Of Alabama-Huntsville*
-Louisiana Tech University

*You’re eligible for free tuition.

I’d recommend Baylor, Vandy, & Rice, but they’re expensive without FA.

Baylor has guaranteed scholarships for students with scores/gpas like I have. However, I do NOT want to live in Waco or go to a religious school.
