Help me selecting school for RD! Panic after being rejected

College Search & Selection
1

<p>As you know, most of the results for ED have came out the past few days, and unluckily I was rejected from my top school Lafayette College. I'm not a big fan of asking for chance, but I really need some advises for colleges to apply for regular decision or ED2 now.
I'm an intl' student studying in the US since my junior. My GPA, according to my HS, is 3.83, without any AP or honor class since my school doesn't offer, however I take all the most challenging classes in my school. My GPA back in my country is 8.7/10 in a gifted school. My SAT score is 1970, with Math 780 CR 570 WR 620. I took the SAT 2 in Math, Chem and Phy on December, and hoping to have at least >700 for all. I have a few good ECs, playing varsity basketball and soccer for my school, have a few awards for soccer, established 2 student-run soccer teams, and created a small tutoring program for 9th grade students. I used to work as an internship secretary for a pharmacy and a government department during summer. I'm also a member of student government during 10th grade and NHS during 11th and 12th grade. My essay is decent, which describe my maturation due to my grandfather's tragic death.
Personally, I believe my weaknesses are my SAT score is somewhat low and my current school is not really a good school with good curriculum. But please correct me if anything else comes up.
My family contribution can only be around 15k-20k each year, which limits my chance to be accepted a lot.
Please suggest me any NU and LAC that will not only accept me, but also provide a decent amount of aid to help me meet the cost of >20k a year.I applied EA for Providence, Fairfield and U of Miami, rolling admission for Quinnipiac.
I really appreciate for any help from you guys!!!</p>

<p>Not sure if St. Cloud St. is listed, but they’re low-cost as well.</p>

<p>Florida Southern College
Hendrix College</p>

<p>Also, some schools have large scholarships that you would qualify for if they haven’t run out of them yet:

<p>Truman State University. </p>

<p>you could look at York College of Pennsylvania… private school with very low cost (compared to others)</p>

<p>Perhaps I missed this, but what are you interested in studying?</p>

<p>I suggest you soon read “Colleges that Change Lives,” which discuses many excellent, affordable, and not exceedingly selective schools that focus on the student and his education (in the broadest sense). </p>

<p>Muhlenberg? I believe they have a Feb 1 deadline. Not sure about their FA policies but they are test optional (although require tests to be submitted if applying for merit aid)</p>
