Below is a rather extensive list of colleges, many of which were listed on your other thread, sorted by my guesses as to your chances for admission. I suspect that you would likely receive merit aid at most of the colleges in the toss-up and likelier categories, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that you would get some from the lower probability category.

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

  • Butler (IN): About 4500 undergrads in Indianapolis

  • Drew (NJ): About 1600 undergrads

  • Hamline (MN): About 1700 undergrads in the Twin Cities
