<p>Hopefully soon I will discuss with them what they would be able to realistically afford and run the NPC for schools to see which ones would be do-able. I think I will add at least one low cost safety anyways, though.</p>
<p>I am planning on retaking the SAT to raise my math score, so that should help. I will also try to score high on the Math 2 subject test. I know my parents can afford to pay for the UCs, so those would be close to a safety/low-match I think since you’re right, nothing is guaranteed. I will probably apply as an engineer so I have the flexibility to switch out, but I will further research each specific school. The only issue is I know that engineering is usually much more competitive than other majors (Esp. at UCB which I am hoping to get into…). Thanks again, though.</p>
