<p>Take a look at Swarthmore.</p>
<p>If you can get into Duke or other top school with enough FA to attend (or if you need none) go there and forget basketball unless the coach recruits you or is friendly to “walkons”. I know that is harsh. But education should come first unless you are a really big time player.</p>
<p>Many “elite” schools that do not offer athletic scholarships per se have adequate need based aid, if you can get in.</p>
<p>You need “safties”. Consider Sewanee, University of Southern Alabama, Mercer, Georgia Southern, and Samford in Birmingham.</p>
<p>The SAT is key to what your possibilities will be. Do not neglect to review for the SAT II’s . Some schools consider the subject test scores to be more important than the aptitude tests.</p>
