Then, your best chances are to wait a year and take a gap year.
None of the universities on the May list will have sufficient financial aid for you.
Can you save enough to register for the SAT (subjects) in June?
Do you have 'best subjects" (in which you’re excellent)?
Is your school system French-patterned or British-patterned?

Very few kids from subsaharan Africa have scores like yours so you’re certainly a top performer in your country, but everything else will come into play (essays, recommendations etc).

Don’t give up. We’ll figure something out.

@ readers on this thread: checked the commonapp essay. It wasn’t about how she’s smarter than everyone else. It tried to fulfill the American request of “overcoming odds” but since it’s a difficult task when you don’t know the cultural parameters it didn’t work as well as it could have. But it wasn’t a sort of “in praise of my exceptional self” as the short description might have sounded to some.
