Are you looking to study in state or out of state? Also, what's tuition like in state for Cali?

 

[Leaftoe]

I would like to study in state since tuition is usually a lot cheaper, but I'm open to out of state colleges if they offer better financial support.

Any of the UCs, then.

Out of state schools are extremely unlikely to be cheaper in your scenario.

Your SAT is a match for UCSD's average matriculant stat for 2015. You are also a student at an SD high school, no? Is there a reason why you didn't take Calc BC?

What is your unweighted GPA?

 

[Wolf3D]

You look like a match for any of the regular UCs (i.e., not UCB, UCLA). The only schools that would be cheaper would be the very generous financial aid top private schools on the east coast, but I just don't think you're competitive enough.

Also there is no such thing as a "good pre med program"
