<p>Do you have papers for your NA status? If so, that would probably be a nice hook for some top schools.</p>

<p>Boston University, George Washington University, University of Texas at Austin, Eugene Lang New School. Judging by your stats alone, the aforementioned schools would all be safeties.</p>

<p>What kind of cost constraints are you looking at? Have you and your parents checked the net price calculators on various colleges of interest?</p>

<p>Besides the automatic full tuition and full ride scholarship list, here are some other candidate schools to consider:</p>

<ul>
<li>Other UCs (apply to all you are willing to attend).</li>
<li>University of Minnesota - Morris. Has a tuition waiver for Native American students (and is not that expensive to begin with, but is nowhere near urban): [University</a> of Minnesota Morris | Financial Aid | American Indian Tuition Waiver](<a href=“http://www.morris.umn.edu/financialaid/scholarshipswaivers/americanindiantuition/]University”>http://www.morris.umn.edu/financialaid/scholarshipswaivers/americanindiantuition/)</li>
