I am not sure about the GPA question, that is just what my transcript says. UW is out of 4.33 and weighted is out of 6.

Most Universities will recalculate your GPA or use unweighted and have their own formula to take in account Rigor

You need to recalculate your GPA A=4, B=3. C=2 add .5 for Honors and 1 for AP
Do not add anything for pluses
Only use Core classes. English, Math, Science, SS, and Foreign Language

This will give you the most accurate GPA to compare to Universities websites 25%-75% percentiles.

Let me know! Any location is okay with me but I have a single mother so tuition may be an issue.

You need to run the NPC on the college websites for schools you are applying at to make sure your expected contributions are realistic
Once you have your expected contributions look for schools that meet 100% need.

Are you looking for a large public Uni like Rutgers? Mid size Private Seton Hall or LAC Colgate ( meets 100% need no loans)

Merit
OOS Publics are usually very restrictive with merit except for top students they want to attract.
Privates can award merit to bring cost close to instate public.

A Jersey school option to consider for Merit, Seton Hall
School of Diplomacy and International Relations
