<p>*A thread a friend of mine wanted to post for him, give him feedback please!</p>

<p>3.5 UW
3.688 W
1600 SAT
I have around 800 volunteer hours with my church. I have gone on mission trips and help build homes in Mexico. </p>

<p>Cross country

Voz Latina
Art club
Hispanic
Income is less than 50k</p>

<p>I need to go to a school with good financial aid I will apply to some scholarships but I do not have great stats so I don’t think ill get many.
What colleges should I apply to with these stats? South east schools mostly but open to other colleges. I am not shooting for top colleges, just a college that would suit me and help me find employment after graduation.</p>

<p>Bump!!!</p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>

4

<p>There are always average schools for average people.</p>

5

<p>If they need good aid they will need merit scholarships which means they should look at schools where they are above average…</p>

<p>GA, my friends is just asking for suggestions of schools he should start looking at. I suggested UC Riverside and University of Tenn to him for example.</p>

7

<p>He’s a low-income URM - is he also a first-gen college applicant? Look at less-selective privates, not state schools (unless they’re in-state.) Tell him also to join the QuestBridge 2013-2014 FB group and learn more about the program - his combination of circumstances seem to me like he’s a strong candidate. He should consider applying to test-optional schools as well!</p>

<p>Yes he is a first generation college student. And yeah I realized there was a thread for that after I posted on the chance thread</p>

<p>UC Riverside will give poor aid to an OOS student. If you’re a resident of Tennessee, why not look into U Memphis or ETSU?</p>

<p>Also, with those stats, Questbridge is likely not a viable option.</p>

<p>My brother suggested U Memphis to him, I will tell him to look into it. Thanks. Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>@billcsho: What makes you so “superior”? Your probably an average Jor yourself, whom BTW, will be lucky to get into Le Cordon Bleu.</p>

12

<p>Out of state seems tougher with those stats so you should look at some local ones. Probably riverside would be hard too. Good luck.</p>

<p>@whenhen: Are you reading his stats properly…? QB Finalist puts so much less weight on grades and scores than people’s stories. Perhaps Match - but almost no one gets Matched anyway, and he can pull up his SAT score.
Additionally, he’s a Georgia resident.</p>
