Needing a lot of financial aid is a disadvantage when applying to all but a handful of universities.

It could be that it worked against you at Notre Dame, Pomona and Williams – if you were rejected by them. Yale is need-blind, but with single-digit acceptance rates it’s a “reach” for everyone, including top students.

There are schools that award automatic scholarships based on your stats – but the deadlines for application is waay past. Unless you take a gap year, work to save some money, and reapply next fall for academic year 2020, a community college may be your only option. Assuming you don’t get in somewhere you can afford.

Sorry you’re going through this.
