“The OP asked their question and hasn’t been heard from since. I wonder if the answers being given aren’t the ones they wanted to hear.”
I can’t think of options beyond the panoply of those offered.
I took the OP to be genuine, and at a loss late in the stages of college selection and admissions. Hope he/she returns to explain a bit more about what has prompted them to ask this question and at what point in the process they may be in.
