You are delusional with some of those scholarships you mention your gpa puts you well out of the running–there is no SAT that would work in combination with those grades, and essays will not ‘overshadow’ a mediocre gpa. If you can grasp reality you have time to craft a better plan. Your best bet in your instate affordables. But there are a few schools in the automatic thread if you can break the 3.0 where you can get the tuition paid. They are not the ideal location all the time, and they are not always big name schools, but they will get the job done. I don’t know how you think you are in a position to be picky, what is your rock solid safety?

Note: I think Howard is the best one you might get free tuition from, check the whole list though, but you have to apply very early because these run out. So position yourself to be ready to apply. Testing done, essays ready…
