Congratulations on your hard work, most of the colleges in the country will be happy to have you... But most of the colleges talked about here on CC are among the very few that you are unlikely to qualify for, so your likely to not get the best recommendations here.

I would suggest you look at colleges at collegeboard.com (the SAT People) and you will find hundreds of fine schools that will be happy to accept you.

If money is an issue remember that community colleges are a great way to save lots of money and courses are often transferable to many 4 year colleges.

Well, I think some here could help this fine student!

OK..is money an issue?

How about....

St. Michael's College in Vermont
Marist in New York
Stonehill College

These all have super nice campuses.

But, let us know if money is an issue. Do you know how much your parents can pay?

You should also consider possibly going into ROTC is money is an issue.
