Yup, spend some time looking into those QB partners and finding good places for you

Definitely second Wesleyan. (Plus it’s a “university” and it’s got some recognized grad programs so it may be more palatable to your parents).

My general point was that applying to 1, 2 or 3 CSUs isn’t going to take much time (and, assuming you get a fee waiver, there’s no reason to limit yourself to just one; since CSUs will only be affordable with a scholarship, which you can’t rely on - they don’t cover R&B - applying to 2 or 3 maximizes your odds of having an affordable safety in addition to UCR). If all goes well, you will not need UCR OR ANY CSU honors program and scholarship, but… deploy the safety net first, launch next and fly high if you wish.
Applying to their respective Honors Colleges will be a bit more time consuming but consider it practice for QB. The Honors college essays, when relevant, will force you to play with and refine your ideas ahead of time. Get those done early, even if the deadline’s not for a long time.

Then, July and on: QB.
