Am I looking too low?

@wgunzueta There are SO MANY WUE schools, many of which may be better than UNV or Boise State. Why these two? Northern Arizona, Montana State, Washington State, Wyoming, New Mexico, are all options. At UNM, you could qualify for in-state rates which are likely to be cheaper than in-state options in CA. You might also qualify for enough merit at NAU, ASU or U of Arizona to make them less expensive than in-state, assuming your SAT score is in line with PSAT. I also would dig a bit deeper on CA schools; I agree that not all CA campuses will be excessively liberal.
