With your grades and SAT scores, you clearly have the skills to succeed in college. As noted above, take as many challenging courses as possible senior year to prepare yourself for college-but don’t worry if there are a limited number of AP courses. Plenty of students do well in college having taken few or no AP courses. College coursework is a whole different world than high school, especially in the sciences.
It appears, however, that your parents have told you they are willing to pay for college at exactly one school. This isn’t that unusual-I know plenty of families which have told their kids the family will pay for State U only, or for a specific religious school, which appears to be the case for you.
That, unfortunately, leaves you with few options:
- don’t go, get a job, and see if you can persuade your parents during a gap year or
- go and excel, and get accepted to vet school from that college. Many graduate schools like to highlight how many different colleges they have accepted students from
UC Davis Vet(heavy on in-state, but lots of colleges)

As noted above, if you are worried about the bio department, majoring chemistry/biochem would be a good option; just make sure to take the bio prerequisites.
3. Engage in some heavy-duty negotiating with your parents now, as described above.
Those really appear to be your options; in any case, your HS academic achievements show you are ready and able to succeed in college.
