You might find that the honors college at ASU or U of A is better than you think. I’ve heard great things about ASU - both from the college counselors at my son’s school, and parents of kids who have gone there. The dead is the former pres of Swarthmore, and is clearly trying to beef up the academics by recruiting highly qualified kids, and giving them excellent benefits at the honors college. At least in the early years, when you would take many honor-only classes, you would be able to avoid a lot of the apathy you refer to in your last post. Maybe then you could transfer if you’re still itching to get out.

I can’t remember if you mentioned your National Merit results, but New College has very favorable aid for semi-finalists. And it seems likely you could get a scholarship at ASU, whether you are a NMSF or not.
