Wow. Thank you so much. Ill explain my school choices since they're so over the map. UK is like my safety in state school I can afford and get into. Ucsb is my dream school but its very competitive not to mention expensive for out of state. Ucf is my more rational dream school. And OSU (ohio state) is a somewhat close to home school in case I'm not ready to take that huge leap all the way across the country from home
I thought the days of the state universities in Kentucky were long past being considered "safeties", but then again, what do I know?
OP: good luck with the remainder of your HS career. I hope you do well academically and personally, and achieve your ACT/SAT goals so you can in fact apply and get into any schools you are considering attending in the future!
