There’s a recent thread that you may find helpful. There’s a short list of some really good state schools that are still accepting apps. If my memory is correct, I recall Arizona (which someone here mentioned), Alabama, Rutgers, Pitt mentioned in the thread. Also the SUNY system on a school-by-school basis. Good luck!
Hi, I’m Jesse and I am having a crisis at the moment. I have applied to college this year and I am very afraid I have aimed too high. I am anxious that I won’t get into any of the schools I have applied to. It is currently March 19th and these are the decisions I have thus far received:

Georgia Tech: Waitlisted
Johns Hopkins: Rejected
