So I have a two-part question: First, what are the chances that a school will offer you grants or a decrease in tuition? I've read about some students on this forum getting a full ride scholarship from their school (even with mediocre grades!) but really, how often does that happen?
I'm asking because I'm looking at some $90,000 (total) tuition schools that I have a pretty good chance of getting into. That being said, I'm NOT willing to spend $90,000 on tuition. I'd say closer to $60,000 total is what I'm comfortable with (and that's not including housing and living expenses).
Does it even make sense to apply to these more expensive schools, or would I just be flushing money down the toilet?
