You are NOT going to find a college with FREE tuition in the northeast. Your SAT score isn’t high enough for competitive merit awards…and isn’t high enough to get accepted to a college that meets full need. It sounds like you don’t qualify for need based aid anyway.
What are you talking about? Tuition alone would be a LOT more than this. It doesn’t sound like you are a resident of a state in the northeast…so you would be paying OOS tuition at a public university…and tuition at a private university…both would be more like $30,000 MINIMUM per year…just for tuition. Then you have to add in living expenses…which aren’t free…and many places in the northeast are costly.
If WVU is making you take prerequisite courses…what makes you think you would not have to do so elsewhere? What courses are they making you take?
What northeast colleges did you have in mind?
