<p>As first generation, you really should look further into Questbridge. There are other resources out there for first generation, low income students, to help them with the college search and selection process. I hope some others on this site will be able to refer you to those resources.</p>
<p>Your stats will be looked at in a different light by most schools since you are first generation. Rochester should, at the very least, be a match for you. You should consider some reaches. You might want to consider Brown. Another open curriculum school, in an interesting city.</p>
<p>Some of the Schools that Change Lives are open curriculum, are in cities, and would be a match for you, although they might be a little smaller than you’d like. Look for ones that fill 100% of need.</p>
