<p>It’s probably too late to take the SAT again. I think that is what kept your from getting the Georgia Southern scholarship. Keep in mind that a lot of colleges disregard the writing portion and only look at CR/M.</p>
<p>I would not consider SCAD–certainly not for writing, anyway.</p>
<p>If you want to be a writer, you need to go somewhere you can write. The name of the college is less important than what you do there, especially in your case. This is why I suggested Knox–it has a great literary magazine on campus and you could potentially get your work published while you are an undergrad. Kenyon is well-known for its writing program, but it is in a very small town and I am not sure what kind of aid you will get. In any case, there are probably many other colleges with similar programs, closer to you. I would cast a pretty wide net–including some “reach” schools as well as others that have been suggested–and see where you wind up on the merit/financial aid side. There’s really no way to know until you do it.</p>
