Look into Questbridge. Also doesn’t Texas guarantee money if you are top 10% of your class? Is there any way you can pump up your GPA? 3.4 will get you into a lot of schools though.

Talk to your coach and your guidance counselor about what colleges other students with your stats have been accepted to. Maybe your coach can say whether there are schools that will recruit you for any one of your sports. Don’t get hung up on prestige. You want a school that will give you aid. You can borrow $5500 in a guaranteed student loan for freshman year and you probably qualify for about $7000 in Pell grant. I’m not sure if your state also gives any money. Many students end up living at home for the first two years and going to community college because it only costs about $4000 a year.

Take your SAT or ACT tests soon. Figure out what areas you need to improve before taking them again. If you come back with some test scores someone here can probably help you find some schools. Also check out the College Match feature on this site. Good luck.
