My college list!

<p>This is my college list and i would love to hear some inputs or advice regarding it. My situation is slightly confusing.</p>

<p>I am an American citizen but have been brought up in India and need a hefty amount of aid. My fafsa efc is 0. My sat score is 1340/1970(670 r, 670 m, 630 w) and i regave it in december and hope/think it will improve.Sat 2's are 670 lit and 660 maths 2c.
I have lots of ec's most importanly i am a school captain and also have glowing recs.
My class 10th percentage (which is a national exam) was 91% which is considered to be very good and got all A's.
I expect to get 92% this year (again national exams and all A's)</p>

<p>Also since i have been living outside i am an OOS for all states- this leaves
me in an awkward position. </p>

<p>My uncle(father's brother) lives in boston and i am partial to the east coast because then i can visit them frequently. </p>

<p>also i am applying for bachelors in economics </p>

<p>So please now look at my college list.</p>

<p>reaches (high)
Yale(if december sat improves) (there's no harm in trying is there) :)<br>
Johns Hopkins University
Cornell
Amherst(if december sat improves)</p>

<p>Reach/match
Carnegie Mellon
Berkeley (submitted)
University of michigan@ ann arbor
Carleton
colgate university</p>

<p>Matches
University of Illinois @ urbana champaign
Bucknell university</p>

<p>safeties
Umass @ amherst
University of Ohio@columbus</p>

<p>so please tell me what you think????
any advice and input will be really appreciated as i have noone to give me any advice here.</p>

<p>I think that you should add some more match type schools. A lot of these are tough to get into for everybody. You are in at OSU and UMass and maybe Bucknell and Illinois. I would add BU and if you need aid Tulane is very good for that.</p>

<p>anyone else............................please post.....................</p>

<p>can someone please tell me about some more match schools on the east coast which give good fin aid.</p>

<p>Check into SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Stony Brook, Case Western (Ohio), Rutgers and Northeastern.</p>

<p>Case western looks good.....................i don't like the SUNY's</p>
