<p>My mother makes less than $30,000 in TAXABLE income, but if you include the money I get from Social Security, it goes up to about $36,000. </p>

<p>No, I won’t know about QuestBridge until October 22. I’m a senior and I would probably go in as an undecided major. </p>

<p>I used the Aid for College in Texas website and man did it give me varied estimates on aid (my estimated net cost for UT Austin is between $907 and $21,348 a year xD).</p>

<p>I sent you PM.</p>

<p>As much as I would like to follow the plan you sent in the PM, doing so would only hurt my chances. I’m a potential humanities student, through-and-through.</p>

<p>Just my 2 cents, I think you’ll be fine.</p>
