<p>Reading back through your old posts, it appears you were aiming at schools like MIT. I didn’t see a full list, but with your stats and your verbal abilities as demonstrated in your posts, it seems pretty likely that if you reapply next year to the right colleges, you’ll find a place.</p>
<p>Use the year off to work. As many have pointed out, you would be much sought after as a child care provider and can probably make $35K plus in an affluent community.</p>
<p>Apply to schools where your stats are at the top and that are generous to internationals. The women’s schools, as someone above mentioned, are a good bet.</p>
<p>Don’t count on the Green Card coming in year 12, that would be rare. What you need is a realistic list of schools and a good job for a year.</p>
