<p>State of residency?</p>

<p>Have you looked at the net price calculators on the web sites of all of the schools to see if they are affordable?</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA?</p>

Cross-reference the list to list of ABET accredited civil, environmental, and industrial engineering programs at [Accredited</a> Program Search](<a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx]Accredited”>http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx) .</p>

<p>Take off the OOS publics since you need aid. Only UVA and UNC give lots of need based aid to OOS students.</p>

<p>If your new SAT isn’t at least a 2100, I probably wouldn’t waste much time on those reaches. Maybe apply to one or two just to see.</p>

<p>Until you get new scores, it’s hard to say where your safety schools are. Safeties usually don’t give much aid and your current stats aren’t high enough for much merit.</p>

<p>Right now, your safeties are probably a state school that you could commute to.</p>

<p>Get the scores up and you have a good scholarship from Alabama. [Out-of-State</a> Scholarships - Undergraduate Scholarships - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out_of_state.html]Out-of-State”>http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out_of_state.html)</p>
