Schools for a student with a 3.8 GPA but only a 1770 SAT score?

<p>I definitely understand the whole staying in state thing, but I’m honestly not letting myself do that. I worked too hard towards not having to go to an instate school to settle with that. And my Dad has been out of work since November and will not be getting work for at least another month or two. I’m hoping that maybe that will help me with financial aid a bit if possible. The loans are worth it for me though, they really are. I understand how unwise it sounds, but I can’t go to an instate school. I would be miserable. It’s not worth it for me.
Consolation- That’s weighted, my school does not rank, and I’m taking 2 APs & an honors course right now. By the time I graduate I will have just finished pre-calc. And my SATs were 650 critical reading, 620 writing, and 500 math. I’m hoping to raise my math score by at least one hundred this time around. I had not taken Algebra II last time I took the SATs.</p>
