In a terrible position, not sure what to do, Please Help!

<p>“OOS” extra charges only apply to public universities. Private colleges actually <em>like</em> having students who apply from far away since you’d bring geographic diversity, and it’s especially true in States that aren’t widely popular or colleges not located in big cities. Plus you have excellent stats. So the colleges I quoted above would not charge you extra OOS tuition and may even reward you with a nicer financial aid package. There’s not much of a risk to try and see.
Same thing applies to private colleges on the May 2 Nacac list (which may be better to wait for - you’d be sure to get a spot at your chosen colleges and you could still apply to community colleges. Remember, CC’s are open enrollment, so it’s not like you have to hurry, except for choosing classes, which won’t happen till June or July anyway.)</p>
