<p>You don’t mention National Merit - are you in that pipeline? Several schools give killer scholarships for National Merit scholars, but I don’t know how it works if you start early. Westminster College in Utah gives great scholarships! They might be willing to work with you even without National Merit Finalist status - I don’t know.

Other schools are Univ of Oklahoma, Univ of New Mex or Arizona (one of those SW states).</p>
<p>I agree with the people who say to wait, especially if you’re going to be an NMF, although you’ve already decided. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is great, with a free and easy application, and although they have crummy aid in general, they might give something to a girl with your stats. Case Western says on the Common App that they are still accepting applications, but their web site says the deadline is passed. They are supposed to give pretty good aid, though.</p>
<p>My son is very similar to you actually - graduating simultaneously with an AS and over 100 credits one year early. He’s applying this year to college and is considering a gap year. But we’re eligible for financial aid.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
