VERY lost about college

I think you have a pretty good handle on the situation - obviously, getting 3 or 4 B’s Junior year isn’t as great as getting a bunch of A’s but I don’t think you have done horrible damage to your chances at an elite school IF you are right about the speculative stuff you mentioned:

1. Is your overall GPA really still going to be above 3.8 after this semester?

2. Are you really going to score that well on your AP tests (all 4’s and 5’s)?

if that stuff really is true and not wishful thinking, you are largely correct that you are still in contention for a decent shot at elite schools like Columbia (which are reaches for everyone, as you probably know.)

My opinion, of course, no guarantees, obviously.

Without any idea of your financial situation, it is hard to make school suggestions. Have you worked out what you might need in terms of financial aid?
