Try the University of Rhode Island. I have a kid that goes there as well as one that goes to PSU- main, both are out of state schools for us. . Its small near the beach and they give HUGE merit aid to out of state kids. With your SAT scores you will get a very nice package. Best of all you only need to maintain a 2.8 to keep it. My tuition bill for URI is on par to what I would pay for instate. Plus its near the beach and there is an Amtrak on campus that can take you to NYC or Boston. I hate to say it but out of state wanting to go to PSU is out of the question for you. All out of state parents I have met at PSU have money to pay full freight. You most likely will get no financial aid and although your SAT score is outstanding, PSU weighs 2/3 GPA and 1/3 tests for admission so I am thinking your GPA is not high enough for merit. I think you would be better off trying some private schools too.
