Any decent college a possibility?

I just feel like complete **** right now after seeing my SAT scores, like I've been reduced to a set of numbers, like nothing really matters anymore because I'll never be more than mediocre at anything, and it's making me want to vomit. I'm not the best and brightest of students, apparently, but I still can't stomach the idea of going to a crap school. I'd appreciate any advice on what decent college might have me. Location isn't an issue, and hopefully any cost can be covered through scholarships and loans.

My GPA when I finish out high school would be average at best, mostly because I had no aspirations for higher learning my first two years and have just this last school year taken it upon myself to take all APs and boost my GPA up a bit (I'm getting mostly As so even unweighted it will look much better than it has been).

Still awaiting grades from AP tests, but I expect mostly 5s and 4s with MAYBE a 3 in Art History if I didn't scrape a 4.

I got a 2130 on the SAT. 690 CR, 670 Math, 770 Writing. I might retake it, but I don't really see the point. I doubt I'll do much better. I haven't taken the ACT and don't know if I will.

So, please list any halfway decent colleges that you think there's a slight chance I might get accepted to. I'd appreciate it.

If that's your attitude about yourself, then no, of course no one will take you.

Duh you can get into a good school. Look at LACs like Grinnell and Kenyon for good matches.

suck it up, take it again, and work hard.
feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to do anything. I suggest you go to www.smartdoodle.com they on average raise people scores by 90 points. and its a free service that lets you go at your own pace.

also try and build your resume this next year.

don't be down on yourself, colleges don't want weak people, that give up at the first sign of an obstacle. good luck with it all :]
