Answer 1

Try for Boston College, UC San Diego, and NYU. I think you can get into all three of those. Apply to UCLA and UC berkley too but it could be harder to get into. They are all about in the same league of hardness to get into.

Answer 2

where are you from?
try some instate universities that will save you money than gogn to outstate ones

try uc schools they are very reputable and cheaper than private universities
and with your background you might be able to get a big chunk of scholarship instead of paying in full

Answer 3

It would have helped if you told us what school you got into & who rejected you.

Princeton Review has a tool where you can enter information about your background and interests. It then suggests several schools for you. The link is below.
