<p>I’m not settled in an intended major/career path yet. Right now I think I’d like to be a professor of English specializing in Victorian literature, since it’s a subject I have a true passionate interest in, but I’m also interested in exploring the social sciences and biology more at school. I’ll be doing either a double major or a minor in music because I certainly don’t want to stop playing flute!</p>
<p>Thank you all for your advice. It’s really helping me figure things out. I am doing lots of looking around at other schools to make sure that I have a solid mix of choices, not just possibly-unattainable LACs and one fallback. 
Then all I can do is apply and wait and see what kind of offers I get!</p>
<p>If I could ask one other question - how exactly does the Expected Family Contribution work? I’ve talked more with my parents and they’ve said that other than the $16,000 they’ve saved this far, they’ll only be able to contribute about $1,000 a year more, which is a lot less than the EFC’s for a lot of schools. Some schools say that they’ll match 100% of all demonstrated need, but does that mean the gap between their aid + the EFC and the cost of the school, or simply anything you can’t pay, regardless of whatever you are expected to be able to pay?</p>
