Lafayette College
Northeastern University
Penn State University
Sacred Heart University
University of Delaware
University of Maryland
University of Rhode Island</p>
<p>also.. if theres anywhere you'd think id get decent academic money let me know!!:)</p>
<p>I think Binghamton and Hofstra are safeties for you and also Bryant shouldn't be that tough for you. Idk about Penn though, it's just getting tougher and tougher over there. Good luck though.</p>
<p>Nothing looks like an absurd reach. They all range from matches to safeties. I would agree with newyitty in saying that Hofstra is a saftey. Northeastern is also a safe match. However, I'd say that Bighampton would be closer to a match.</p>
<p>Idk if you'll find a much cheaper college for the value you get at Binghamton. It's regarded as the "best bang for your buck" among state schools nationwide.</p>
<p>any other suggestions besides new york state schools.. like any school with a good reputation for being generous with academic scholarship money?? what are my chances for say Boston Univ, Delaware and maryland ?</p>
<p>I know Earlham college is supposed to give great aid. They aren't the most selective college around, but they have a huge P.H.D and higher education turnout. Its a real safety for you-- and with your stats-- they'll probably offer you good aid.</p>
<p>SUNY Binghamton-low match
Boston University-match
Bryant University-idk
Hofstra University-idk
Lafayette College-idk
Northeastern University-big safety
Penn State University-match
Sacred Heart University-idk
University of Delaware-idk-match
University of Maryland-match
University of Rhode Island-idk</p>
<p>im pretty sure average for nw is like 3.2 or 3.3
maybe lower...and the kids there dont usually have hard schedulaes i think...so ur wieghted is way higher
and
ur sats are about a notch above</p>
<p>ide say if u apply financial aid u would prolly get a good tuition cut
and
even if u dont u still might get a good one
i think its below ur ambition level though
ide say Boston would probably fit u better (by lookin at ur test scores and gpa)</p>
<p>Are you hoping for merit money, need-based, or both? You have many state schools on your list, and I doubt that they will give you merit aid. You are solid, but not spectacular. As far as admissions itself, you have a good list and should be accepted at most of the schools. The list is a little conservative, which is not a bad thing, though. If you are serious about aid, do research on what schools are offering a lot of it. It's easier to get aid at some of the liberal arts schools. You seem to be a guy- many of them need to boost their male admissions, too, so that will help.</p>
<p>If you are looking for merit aid only, even if you get them at the privates, they may cost what your public OOS schools will cost. If you are entitled to financial aid, then the story may be different. For example, at NEU the COA is 41,500. Assuming that you get 11,000 in merit aid, your cost would be 30,500. UMD costs about 32,000, assuming that you are OOS and that you do not get any aid. There will be annual increases at both schools, and your merit aid at the private won't increase with that, so you need to keep that in mind. Basically costs are close for freshman year. I won't go into the coop year at NEU, your earnings, and living expenses, that is an entirely different issue. BTW, 11,000 at NEU is a reasonable # b/c 79% of students received grants last year (either merit or financial) and the average was 11,888.</p>
<p>I think it is smart to apply to OOS and instate publics, as well as private schools. This way you can compare packages. URI, and UDEL might give you merit aid, but I don't know. The reason that I am guessing this is a possibility is b/c they are small states and count on a lot of out of state students. This is just a guess on my part. BTW, if you are willing to look south, the publics get a little less expensive.</p>
