Hey, so update: Turns out I actually got half tuition off at USD and misread the award on the portal. So now I’m choosing between USD and LMU (prob choosing USD). I got waitlisted at UCSC, UC Irvine, and SDSU so after I commit to likely USD I’ll wait to hear back from these schools and decide from there. Thanks for all the advice everyone gave. I definitely could have applied to a better range of colleges, but despite how to UC’s turned out, I’m glad with my options.
