Hi Sarah!
A 3.8 GPA will get you into plenty of colleges. Take a look at this website: https://www.collegesimply.com/guides/3.8-gpa-colleges/
But unless you are thinking about a scholarship, or your parents / sponsor have plenty of money for your college goals, you might want to consider the cost of out-of-state tuition, which can be enormous. For example, California out-of-state tuition is more than three times the cost for California residents. I read that the resident tuition for CalTech is $56K this year. Here's a website that shows you average tuition costs by state: https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/state/
Anyway, good luck with your journey - you're going to do great! We need more STEM women!
