Cost concerns?
Desires - small/medium/large. Weather. Urban, not urban, etc. need more info. Sports, Greek life etc.

How much does diversity in the student body matter ?

Are you of pre med intent ?

214/677 = 0.316, so you are in the top 32% (not top 30%).

https://www.fortbendisd.com/cms/lib/TX01917858/Centricity/Domain/2312/2022-2023%20College%20Automatic%20Entrance%20Requirements.pdf suggests that you may have automatic admission to most Texas public universities except Texas A&M College Station, Texas A&M Galveston, UT Austin, UT Dallas, UT Permian Basin, UT Rio Grande Valley. Check individual campuses for any changes that may have been made since that list was made (by a Texas high school).

Of course, cost constraints can matter. What is your price limit?

OP already received advice on her previous thread.

Please you poster’s other thread linked above for further discussion. Thank you.
