i’m a rising senior from arizona. i’m hoping to get to colorado for environmental engineering, ideally focusing on atmospheric sciences. i’m looking into cu boulder, does anybody have an idea on my cost? i have a decent amount of dual enrollment credits through my local cc, will have a 3.65 gpa, and have a 34 act. my parents definitely make too much for aid so id need merit scholarships only.
does anyone here have similar circumstances to me? what did you end up paying? how can i whittle my costs down? are there any nearby schools that might be more realistic or cheaper?
