If your parents aren’t willing or able to pay much towards your colleges expenses, the reasons behind it probably don’t matter much at this point.

A school is only a match if you can afford it.
I’d be looking very carefully at the scholarship link ucbalumnus posted up thread. Also, I’d find out if there is time to retake the SAT.

Other option is looking into schools within commuting distance and scouring their websites for financial aid possibilities. If you are within walking distance to decent public transportation, all the better.

Id try not to be concerned about what other kids in the school are doing or going. That really doesn’t matter for YOU. Where you are going and how you will go about doing it is your concern now. Good luck!
