<p>Should I even apply to private schools? </p>

<hr>

<p>My family makes around $30K a year. I live in Texas and would like to major in music. My grades are nothing special compared to the people on this forum. I rank in the top 5% of my high school class. I think my GPA is 3.5 W. I took 4 AP classes, gonna take 2 more my senior year. AP scores: 3, 3, 4, 5. I took the SAT one time and have: 560 M, 570 W, 600 CR.</p>

<p>My question is, should I even bother applying to private schools? I'd like to attend a small, liberal arts school, but I don't know if I'll be able to afford it. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>^ That’s about all you can do. Make sure you apply to UNT.</p>

<p>If your looking into UNT here is some of their scholarship information.</p>

<p>If you get your scores above 1200 (M+CR) you’ll be elgible for a majority of them.</p>
