[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UF is about $28k OOS, less than $50k / yr all-in including room and board. Gainesville has a regional airport, but Orlando is also less than 2 hours. Not a suitcase school. [/quote]

UF is a top school and hard to get into OOS[/quote]

It's also ranked in the top 30.  Not the criteria OP is looking for.[/quote]

Well, to be fair DC is not opposed to T30 school this is more me learning about what is out there apart from extremely selective schools.

We're CA based. Yes, will be leaning into UC options as well - Berkeley is the dream but again, trying to avoid getting hearts set on one school. [/quote]

Looks like DC has great stats!  I'd not discount UC colleges.  There are several great options.  
You need to decide what she wants to study and create a list of schools based on ranking (for her subject of study), overall ranking, location preferences, Private/Public, etc.  Then dig into who will reasonably take her.  She may have the grades to get into Harvard, but so do thousands of others.  However, a school like UF, while ranked in the top 30, may be a better shot and also affordable.  You could also target Private Liberal Arts colleges if they offer your DC's intended program of study.
