<p>I agree with the above posters. Just because your brother didn’t get financial aid, doesn’t mean you won’t. Maybe your family’s EFC was more than the tuition at a small public college, but still a good deal smaller than the cost of a private college. Or maybe the public school didn’t meet full financial need, while other colleges do. There is a very good chance that your family will end up paying less for your education than for your brother’s even if you attend a private college with a very high “sticker price”.</p>
<p>There might still be time to retake the SAT and focus intensely on improving your math score. Or, you could look at schools that don’t require the SAT. In the Fiske Guide to Colleges, there is a list of such schools.</p>
<p>If you have three SAT Subject Tests, try Middlebury, which lets you submit them instead of SATs and guarantees to meet demonstrated need. </p>
<p>If you don’t have other test scores, try Bard, Bates, Bowdoin, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, Pitzer, and Sarah Lawrence.</p>
