I think maybe you over-estimated the specialness of your circumstances in helping you stand out from the crowd? Most of your schools are reaches or super reaches for almost everyone. You should have multiple match and safety schools on your list when you need financial aid. Did people not tell you that or did you not listen? If you strike out for schools with aid this year, I would take a year off to work and reapply. Waiting a year for college isn’t a bad thing and you’ll end up with better financial aid if you reapply as a freshman to a list of schools who will love you, as opposed to a list of the schools everyone “reaches” for.
