<p>Which schools could I get into? And even if i do which schools are known for giving decent cash?</p>
<p>Your problem is that you don’t really have a shot at schools that meet need. BC, GW and Barnard are the good aid schools on your list and they are all unlikely with your current stats. If you need much aid, you’ll need to look at you’re in state schools if your state has grants or CCs.</p>
<p>I doubt a 1710 is going to earn merit aid at ANY university, much less ones like Bernard. I would recommend bringing the SAT score up. Have you tried the ACT?</p>
<p>I haven’t tried the ACTs yet, but I’m not a math or science person. Is it really worth it? What are some other schools to look at if none of these are within my reach?</p>
