If say even if you were a high flyer with perfect stats AND grades for all four years you STILL need safety schools in that list. Schools with much, much higher acceptance rates. My S traveled around the world and has the strangest transcript on the planet hence his GPA only reflective of a few years of HS but…he used his essays and question/answer parts of his essays to show how unique he really is. So far accepted at all schools he applied to, (who have given decisions so far) even a few reaches.
And really…saying my life is too busy to check out where I will spend my next four years that will mold me into the adult I will be…that’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face! We spent almost one year “making time”. My son actually took some schools off his list after visiting them realizing they were poor fits for him. There are enough college students who transfer after never having visited. What a waste!
I think you need to step back a step and re assess.
