You needn’t be insecure - you have a great schedule. It may not be Harvard but it’ll get you into many outstanding colleges.
You hit the nail on the head - that you’re lighter than it should be in comparison…because rigor is what schools look at.
When I looked at your curriculum, I thought - 7APs - that’s not bad. And what matters is - how is that vs. what is offered. You said at the end that others have taken more.
But be careful - just because there’s a class out there doesn’t mean it’s right for you. It’s not an arms race - take the required schedule of course but then take courses that are challenging and of interest but not if they’re going to trip you up.
What’s your GPA thus far…unweighted and if you have weighted.
In general, a state flagship is a great place for an affordable and quality education (you don’t mention where you are from) - but more importantly, we know nothing about you:
- Do you want large, medium, small.
- What’s important - i.e. weather, greek, sports, urban rural, etc.
- What might you want to study, if you know.
Things like that.
It’s good you are starting to look - but you have lots of time.
It’d be great to develop a list like you are asking.
One thing that’s great to do - officially or if you can’t unofficially - take a weekend trip with mom or dad and go visit some campuses - large, medium, small. Check the surrounding area…do you like a tiny town or to be in the mix of things.
If you can get into info sessions or campus tours, even better.
But try to get a feel for the type of environment you’d like, etc.
Let us know - and you’re doing a great job.
