Are you recruitable for your sport?
If so, reach out to D3 coaches with academic resume and athletic highlights video.
If not, look up a thread by @Lindagaf about the “average excellent student” to get an idea of your competition.
The first thing you need to do is complete the application to your states flagship(s) AND their honors college.
Then, borrow a Princeton Review’s Guide to the Colleges from your library (any edition 2022 on is fine)-> Find 5 private colleges you had never heard of that you like.
Post their names and what you liked about them on this thread.
What’s your budget? If you don’t know, talk with your parents ASAP.
What’s your SAI?

Are the numbers (parents’ budget, SAI) similar or different?
What about if you run the NPC on WashU, what’s the net price result?
