<p>You have decent stats. If your parents are professors at MSU (I’m assuming Michigan State…there are many MSUs out there) you should look into the University of Michigan as a reach. </p>

<p>But before I can further recommend schools, how much are your parents able to pay for college, and what type of school environment are you looking for?</p>

<p>Oops, I actually meant MS State. My parents are willing to help, but not some crazy amount because I have two younger brothers who still have to go to college. I just want a good college with a good English department</p>

<p>There may be some large merit scholarships available:

<p>If you are a citizen of Canada, Canadian universities may be inexpensive options. But check how being away from the US for the length of time needed to attend could affect your permanent residency.</p>
