<p>Well, be sure you don’t get shut out (starting at community college is an option, but it seems like you probably don’t want to be living at home and listening to the parental abuse and shaming every night when you get home from class). Start your list with a safety like UCR. Or, if you think that there is any chance that they will refuse to pay (or use their paying for your college as a way to threaten or abuse you) if you do not get into what they consider an acceptable school, find an automatic full ride scholarship school to be your safety.</p>
