What state are you a resident of, and what school’s net price calculator are you trying? Please note that different schools can give very different amounts of financial aid.

Is 1360 SAT all three parts combined? If so, that and 16 ACT are unlikely to get significant merit scholarships, or admission to the schools with the best need-based financial aid, at least for schools that require test scores. You may want to see if any test-optional schools are within reach for your GPA and are likely to give sufficient financial aid, based on their net price calculators. If you are a California resident and are within commuting range of a CSU that is not heavily impacted for your major, then that is another likely option. Another option for California residents is to start at a community college.
