And my parents have agreed to pay for the full tuition of the 4 years should I attend college.



Full tuition may be up to about $40,000 per year. But full cost of attendance may be up to $60,000 per year. Which is it that they agreed to pay? They do realize what it costs these days, right?

If it really is only full tuition, then note that even $40,000 is more than the full cost at places like in-state Rutgers or out-of-state Minnesota, Virginia Tech, or Stony Brook, so it is definitely worth applying to those type of schools.

Note also that admissions is getting more competitive; make sure your safeties are really safe.
