Minority Guy Seeking Aid What Are My Chances?

<p>I am an African-American male student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, I have a 3.0 GPA, and in HS in had a 3.4 GPA and finished 8th in my class. I also made a 1720 Cumulative Score (Critical Reading+Math+Writing) on the SAT. I have several jobs and EC's. Could you chance me for getting into these schools, and getting significant financial aid:</p>

<p>Indiana University
University of Colorado
Colorado State University
Howard University
University of Tennessee
University of Maine
University of Delaware
University of New Hampshire
Ohio State University
University of Oregon
University of Louisville
University of Georgia
Penn State University</p>

<p>It wil lbe very hard for you to get financial aid as an out of state student at a public university (in addition you wil be paying somewhere in the neighborhood of 30K). It will also be hard for you to get scholarship $$ as a transfer student because most of the money is used to entice freshmen. Howard tells you straight on their website what your ##s need to be in order to get merit $$ (but no $$ for transfers).</p>

<p>Have you considered transferring with in the UT system (if you are in-state)?</p>
