Need some reassurance

FFFFFFFFFF

So I live in LA and due to my financial situation (single mom, unemployed 2+ years) I can not move out of home, which I would normally have no problem with, but my options are now pitiful. UCLA said no, expectedly. Loyola Marymount said yes, but they are very expensive and just not worth it at that price tag. USC is my second to last chance here, it is expensive, but it definitely is worth the price and I hear they give lots of FA. My only other choices are UCSB, Davis, and NYU, but they are out of the question due to not being able to move out (plus NY is cold). I can also do community college at SMC, but I really don’t want HS 1.5 (though from my perspective a 4 year is basically HS 2.0…)

Anyway, I do not have the stats of USC. 3.56 UW, 3.97 W. 1940 SAT SS and 29 ACT. I was pretty ignorant of this whole process pretty much because everyone was telling me I was on the right track and will get into college (they were right, but not for USC). That gave me a little bit of arrogance I didn’t need.

If anyone could look at this and give me some hope, it would be much appreciated.
