UCs are infamous for giving almost none

#

But others (that I cannot immediately name) aren’t like that

Information
Location/Region: Preferably the city, but suburbs are fine. I’m looking towards the Northeast or the West Coast, but Minnesota suggestions are also welcome since that’s my home state.
Major: Political Science/Classical Studies, minoring in French or Japanese
GPA/Test Scores: 3.986 GPA, 27 ACT (I’m unlikely to submit it though since I want to apply to a lot of reach schools)
Curriculum: Core curriculum, since I like to learn a wide variety of things and rigor is very important to me as well as I want to challenge myself.
Size: Smaller class sizes are good but I’m fine with more medium-sized classes.
Costs: I will need aid but I’m low-income so I’ll want schools that offer need-based aid. Merit-based aid is good as well.
Schools I’m currently looking at: Columbia (ED), Princeton, Yale, Swarthmore, Pomona, NYU, Macalester, UMN, U St Thomas MN, Augsburg, MSU Mankato
Additional: Please suggest more safeties in other regions that fit within my criteria! Cost is the most important by the way.

brandeis would be more like a target prob^. I doubt this will change this year: u dont have to submit a test score. u can instead submit a paper u wrote in 11th grade
