<p>You can ask for waivers of application fees when you apply. If that works you can apply to most of the schools on your list. You can ask your school counselor about the fee waivers. It seems like if you need a lot of financial aid then you should apply to more schools than usual in order to be able to compare financial aid packages. </p>
<p>Your qualifications are very good. I’m not familiar with all the schools on your list but they seem pretty different from each other. So I am wondering what criteria you used to come up with your list of safety/match types. Did you base it on them giving out generous financial aid? </p>
<p>Also, what are you thinking about majoring in when you get to college. You have a variety of EC’s so you might want to pull them together into a memorable “theme” for your application. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Also, I think 10char is because there is a minimum number of characters required for a post.</p>
