Just Google the USNWR Pell grant list and choose a school at the bottom. Don’t forget to yell into the internet void when your school drops in rank, though.

Avoid Emory, CMU, Cornell, Chicago. Striver alert.

Agree with the first 4 listed schools, but do not understand the second list's inclusion of Cornell & CMU.

I agree. CMU has high number of rich international kids.
