There are many good schools in Pennsylvania, but, unfortunately, I think the state schools are still pretty expensive (for state schools.) Do you go to a very competitive high school? (Meaning, are your grades still good even though your class rank is not extremely high?) I think your language skills and ECs are compelling, and with an interesting life story might attract some merit aid and/or stacking need-based aid for a good school as long as you would accept a college that isn’t as prestigeous as those you mentioned. Are your parents pressuring you to get into an elite school? Do you know what they can pay? Can you give us your GPA? Do you know what you want to study?

@MYOS1634 are you around to give any advice?
