I’m looking for some help finding colleges to apply to this year. Money is a pretty large factor; I wouldn’t like to pay more than 10-15k a year if possible while still finding a respectable school. I just got my November SATs back: CR-680 Math-800 Writing-760. Would these scores give me a good chance for scholarships and if so, where? I’m looking to major in Civil Engineering and I live in PA with about a 3.9 UW GPA.

To make things a little more interesting, I am currently taking a gap year. I applied to about 11 schools last year as a senior and didn’t end up where I wanted to be. I’m going to Germany in January to do an internship for 6 months. I got denied to 6 schools last year with SAT scores about 200 points lower and no outstanding ECs. So far this year I’ve applied to Temple, Clemson, Alabama, and Maryland. Anybody know of some places that may be able to offer me some money? Any and all opinions are appreciated.
