You still have plenty of time to figure this all out.

First, there are thousands of good colleges. So broaden your horizon beyond the typical top 20 to top 50.

Can you share your GPA and home state? Any test scores yet?

Do you have a job? What did you do this past summer? Those count as things to add to your application.

What major are you interested in? Focus on exploring ECs that are not the typical ones at high school. Sometimes there are better opportunities with no worries about peers or school drama by volunteering at a museum, senior center, national/state park, etc…find something that brings you joy! Then you will have something to great to write about - how you overcame what was holding you back and helped with…

You have got this! This year is your year!
