There are more issues to be considered…

1) will your dad pay for whatever school you’ll get accepted to?

2) if your dad hasn’t said how much he’ll pay each year, then ask!

3) What will your family’s likely FAFSA EFC and CSS Profile family contribution be?
If you don’t know…
FA Calc
[FinAid | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator - Finaid)

4) If money is a concern, which are your financial safety schools (schools that you KNOW that you can afford and will get accepted).

5) Are you applying to any schools that will give you know will give you merit scholarships for your stats? If money is not a concern, then this may not be desired.

6) Applying to that many schools will cost a lot of money and time. I would start with my favs and financial safeties, so that if I ran out of time…oh well…

4.6 GPA, 2120 on the SAT,

Your SAT is not high enough for strong elite school consideration. What is the breakdown of your SAT? Your chances for NC State are very strong as long as you do the app correctly.
