Evaluate my Chances/question about tuition

<p>Hey im a senior in high school and i'm planning on majoring in computer science and or interactive media design. I was to attend one of the best in these fields. Usc is ranked one but thats proly a long shot for me because I have a 3.4. I will apply there any way just to see what happens. my sat scores are average. i got around a 1500 the first time i took it. I'm taking it again and will do much better. So other notable ranked colleges are Michigan state, Rochester tech, drexel and worchester polytech. I'm also looking into the art institute of la. I just moved to california. I lived in Nevada for majority of my high school besides last sememster when I lived with my father in Michigan. My mother passed away this year to cancer. Not to make excuses but without that distraction I feel I was atleast a 3.6 student. Anyways, what are my chances and am I eligble for michigan or california instate tution. I lived in michigan for the first 15 years of my life and my dad still lives theres. I'm still considered a dependent. any help is appreciated.</p>
