I think I messed up......

So just to give a short background I am a high school senior and I am writing this during decision season…

Lately, I have been having a lot of doubts concerning the colleges I have applied to. I applied to my safe schools and got accepted but I really can’t see myself going to anyone of them. I applied to target and reach schools but now I have this looming dread that I won’t get accepted to any of my optimal schools. I’ve also been beginning to regret my choice of colleges to apply to. I mean they aren’t bad (Howard and JHU are up there) it’s just I wish I had applied to more or swapped some of my safety’s for different schools. I know the first response to this is going to be something along the line of “what’s stopping you” and the only way I can explain that lengthy story is a mixture of my own idiocy and a series of unfortunate events. I’ve been thinking about transferring my second year but I really want to know what are my chances of transferring. I figure it’s generally harder to transfer than to just get accepted the first time around. I know for some big schools the transfer rate is crushingly low. Advice, personal accounts, or anything that might help clear things up for me are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
