[quote=Anonymous]It's all about the money. Schools offer wildly different financial aid. A lower-income student needs to apply to the usual range of schools (reach, match, safety), but they all need to be schools that offer generous need based aid. Do some research, use the calculators on college website, don't get too attached until you see the fin aid package. Do your FAFSA and CSS profile early. Show interest in the school by interviewing (and really try to visit if possible). See if the colleges have fly out programs for minority or low income students, if they do, apply. Small school are more likely to give great financial aid to students who seem very interested. If you don't get enough money, CC and then transfer is a good backup plan.[/quote]
