I plan to major in psychology or English and here are my stats:

ACT: 36
SAT: did not submit
AP: World History (5), European History (5), Computer Science A (5), English Language (5), Biology (4), Calculus AB (5), Spanish Language (4), US History (5)
IB: Spanish A (6)

GPA: 4.5 weighted, 3.8 unweighted
Class rank: I attend a highly competitive school that doesn’t have a fully comprehensive ranking system, but my counselor recently told me I was in the top 15%.

EC: Piano for 13 years (CM Levels 1-10, Panel Finalist, multiple awards), Violin for 7 years (CM Levels 1-10), editor of yearbook at school, 1st chair in school orchestra, Vice President of MUN club

Job: summer internship at a school for lower-functioning children, work as a night janitor at a medical center with dad

My family’s annual income is <$30,000.
It says I do qualify for Cal grant, but it is limited to about $4000 I think.
I have been looking into my local community college, which has a good psychology department, from what I’ve heard.
Schools: Pomona, Williams, Brown, USC, UCLA, UCB, UCSB, UCSD, UCI, Yale, Notre Dame

Sorry for so much word barf. Thank you!
