<p>1)colleges w/out aids
(safety schools right?)
University of Virginia (this will be your safety yet you need a green card to apply for aids)
Carnegie Mellon Univ.
Bowdoin College
Reed College
Tufts Univ.</p>

<p>2) colleges w/ aids
-univ. of Rocester
-Davidson college
-George Washington Univ.
-Pomona College (99% of students get aids!)
-Univ. of Notre Dame (if you are not cathorlic, sorry)</p>

<p>I live around Washington D.C area so I don’t really know west coast and southern colleges. but according to your scores and GPA, i think these colleges would be safety school. (btw, Univ. of Virginia rank 2nd in national public univ. I don’t know why you applied to U of MI but not U of VA)</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
