<p>Look/post on the AA Students forum (under College Admissions, Speciality Topics), they should have the most information on AA specific merit aid, which may be your best bet.</p>
<p>UNC-chaple hill, NC State, University of VA, George Mason (personal favorite).There are so many, but you can go to [College</a> Admissions - SAT - University & College Search Tool](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5DCollege”>http://www.collegeboard.com) and put in all your preferences for a college like location, # of students, majors, test scores etc. I found great college through that website. BIG help!</p>
<p>Lol wow ive applied to unc and been accepted to Mason so its funny you mention those!!! Is UVA competitive?? Not only to get in,but also isn’t there a competitive atmosphere amongst the students??</p>
<p>UVA is academically selective/ competitive for admissions. They’re one of the only state schools that meets full demonstrated need (as they define it) for OOS students. </p>
<p>What is your state of residence? Is there a state school that you can commute to if the finances do not work out for you to go OOS or to go to an in-state school where you would have to live on campus?</p>
<p>I live in Philadelphia,PA. My only in state choice is Temple, which i could commute to…as a last resort…does anyone know when UVA’s regular admission deadline is??</p>
