would you like some scholarship money? If so, look at the Jesuit schools outside of Georgetown, Boston College, and Holy Cross. Depending on where you want to go to school, you could go to college for very little $. Then you could really spend the dough on grad school at the Ivies.
You would certainly qualify for many of the scholarships--think Loyola (Chicago), Loyola (New Orleans, Spring Hill (Mobile, AL), Marquette (Milwaukee),etc. No problem getting in and definitely safeties for your averages. they are located in almost every major city. usually require a minimal dose of philosophy and theology (not all Catholic indoctrination) that certainly won't hurt anyone.

I'm not really looking to gain a religion...

Anyways, any suggestions?
