Reverse chance a newly minted middle eastern immigrant

I don’t think University of North Dakota, just because it’s a university still accepting applications, is a real possibility. Going from Lebanon to small-town North Dakota without really wanting to… not a good idea.

It’s probably tough for you, but you CAN come to terms with the idea you’ll start university in 2022. It’ll just mean having better choices later.

In the meantime you can add a CC where your brother lives, commute from there. Look into transfer rates to UMass Amherst as an idea of the CC’s academic quality.

You could apply to Brandeis, for instance.
Run the NPC (net price calculator) for every college listed on this list.
You’d have a lot more choices applying in July&August for Fall 2022 and you wouldn’t shortchange yourself.

Your HS GPA will need context, not only in terms of your rank but also in terms of results for national exams (eg., “an 80% from the school means students rank in the top 10% nationally”.) By any chance did you take the baccalauréat or A-Levels?
