I honestly think it might be a money thing and not so much my credentials.

This has kind of slipped by. OP, you say that you have “college scholarship money that will cover about 80% of the first 4 years”. First- UG should only need 4 years!

But more importantly, 80% of what? Hillsdale & Hope are ~$40K/year, so you have ~$32K/year available? If so, the remaining $8K is achievable through summer / holiday / part time jobs, in which case no financial aid is needed. So why would your application decision be “a money thing”?
