I would never apply to a school early decision if you can not afford it without a scholarship. Apply early action. There is also a thread here with others sharing stats and the scholarship they received. I would try to get your SAT up or try taking the ACT and seeing how you do on it. If you get it up a bit you will be in a higher tier with better chance at a bigger scholarship. You have all summer to study and get that score up.
