I could've gone to an ivy, but depression during my sophomore year pretty much stopped me from doing so

For reference…here is this student’s chance me thread which has some great advice in it. This student is currently a HS junior.

Chance me for MIT or Columbia and other colleges (Junior) [3.9 UW, 1540 SAT, Biology/pre-med, TX student]

Guidelines Please check back to answer questions. Please do not share identifying information. Please do not include your race. Demographics US citizen - TX Slightly competitive public high school (avg sat 1200) i’m lgbtq but i have no idea if that has any effect on my college admissions Cost Constraints / Budget 100-150k annual salary Intended Major(s): Biology/Pre-med (I intend to pursue either CS or finance as a career after college, but most of my extracurriculars are centered around biology. I believe MIT and other ivies let you choose your major after you get in, which is why I am applying as a biology major to these schools. For other schools I will be applying as CS/data science major to other schools that don’t let you change majors after admission.) GPA, Rank, and Test Scores Unweighted HS GPA: 3.9 (currently) - i think this will go up after junior year Weighted HS GPA: 4.65 (out of 5) Class Rank: 50/850 ACT/SAT Scores: 1540 (800 RW + 740 math) - will retake in Mar…

1. I hope you are getting some professional help for your depression.
2. You don’t have to attend an Ivy League or any other elite school to be successful.
3. I hope you find some sure things for acceptance on your college application list, that you would be happy to attend, that are affordable. Those should be the first colleges you add to your application list.
