Hi y’all,
So I need help finding colleges. My dad went to community college and my mom went to technical school like fifteen years after high school graduation, so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do and which colleges would make a good fit. Here are my stats:

GPA 4.0 uw, 4.998 weighted

Class rank either 3 or 4 (not available until September) of 576

I’ll have 12 or 13 AP’s by the time I’m out of high school, right now I’ve only taken AP World and gotten a 3, but my teacher sucked so I’m not really surprised. I’ll take it again in college if I need to.

I’ve taken quite a few Pre-Ap (honors pretty much) classes starting in sixth grade, with the first Pre-Ap class available, math. I took that one in elementary, eight Pre-Ap in middle school, and will have seven in high school once I graduate.

PSAT sophomore year without any prep whatsoever 193; took one from a few years ago this past Monday and got a 210, will prep a lot before this year’s

Took the SAT in 7th grade with Duke TIP, got a 1900

EC’s

Junior Varsity basketball for two years (I won’t be playing any more though)

Academic Decathlon last year and the upcoming two years

Volunteered with Meals on Wheels for the past nine years, started out with my dad

Have written two novels, will write two more this upcoming school year

Played in a garage band for six years

Play guitar, drums, clarinet, keyboard, piano

Can speak English (obviously) and Spanish (through school) and am teaching myself Korean, Russian, and Japanese

NHS (and middle school NJHS)

Mu Alpha Theta (math club)

Plan on starting a GSA at my school this upcoming year

What I need in a college:

An actuarial science program

An at least decent LGBTQ support base

An honors college

The warmer the city, the better

I live in Texas, and I am going to need a lot of aid anywhere I go. My parents own their own business with one employee and they don’t have a lot of disposable income.

So yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated. Even just giving me a few ideas on where I might fit in without any consideration of my intended major would be great. Thanks!
