Thank you guys so much. Also, are there any schools like Tulane you can think of? I love New Orleans and I want to stick in warm areas, the south or west please. No midwest, I am sick of it haha
California Mom here: First you need to find out how much your parents are willing to pay. The UC’s will cost you around $55K/year with little to no financial or merit aid to offset that cost. If you are in need of FA and want to come to California, you need to look at 2 two private schools listed Occidental and USC and remove the UC’s from the list. You might want to consider University of San Diego (private) USD and Loyola Marymount. You are on the right track with grades and EC’s (remember quality not quantity), but it is too difficult to chance you without any definite GPA or test scores. Work hard and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your help!!!
