I would spend some time looking into some likely schools to add to your list. You really need a couple that are basically sure things - both for admissions and cost. And look into the cost of those currently on your list. Can you afford them?

I would also push yourself to get involved in some activities. This is an important part of your application. The type of colleges you are looking at want well rounded students who will hopefully be involved on their campus. Also, activities show them you are hard working, committed and honestly a little interesting. They give you something to talk about in interviews. If you don’t want to get involved at school, what about out of school? Volunteering is easy, maybe at a local food bank? Or get a job? Maybe a local tutoring service since you have good grades. You want to go into psychology so you want to show you like people and can get along with them. Can you get involved in some way with your school’s hockey team assuming you don’t play? Maybe as a manager? Or work at a local rink as someone else recommended. If you skate is a rink around you hiring? My daughter was a figure skater and taught Learn to Skate classes. The common app has space for 10 activities I believe. You don’t want this section blank!
