Don’t worry about it at all! Your job right now is to focus on schoolwork and enjoy your family. Also, extracurricular activities will be coming back, so think about how you can distinguish yourself in things other than grades and ACT, too, so that you will have lots of choices.

I haven’t seen any trashing of CWRU. And don’t believe everything you read about social life at schools. As long as you find a core group of people with whom you have something in common, which just about anyone can do at any school, you will be totally fine.

Relax. Put CWRU back on your list, also Ohio State U as your safety, and then start adding schools from there. 10th grade is really too early to be starting your college search, in my opinion. Focus on creating the record that will make schools want you. Then, in late 11th grade, or the summer before 12th, you decide which schools you want to apply to.
