Hey 
I’m a Junior in high school right now and I’m not sure what to do next. I’m a pretty average student - Mostly A’s, probably 2 B’s in the last few years and 2 C’s in my bad subjects (HNS Chem). I’ve done a lot of volunteering but not consistently, same with extracurriculars. I’ve done no sports. I’ve been taking art electives for 4 years and have one AP class so far and plan to take 4 next year. Last year I fell into depression and panic disorder, which my school district is actually pretty well known for. My family has always had “problems” I guess as well. I think I’m very child like as a person, in many ways. My SAT score is 1960, taken during my mental breakdown. I go to an intense, super competitive school where everybody wants to get into an Ivy and get rich or their life is ruined. I’m still recovering from mental issues, but I’m worried about college and stuff as well, since it is not the focus of my parents at the moment. I just wanna know what kind of colleges I have a good chance of getting in (specific examples would be awesome) and if Ivys are still a possibility. I don’t really care Ivy or not, but a really good psychology or medical school is what I’m aiming for. My best state option is Rutgers. Thanks so much in advance to anyone who helps out!
I would not even pay attention to the Ivy treadmill. As I suspect you have already figured out, it is no guarantee of happiness or success in life. Your stats are probably too low, but that isn’t a big deal. There are tons of other colleges that can give you a great education.
What is your SAT breakdown? Do you plan to study and make another attempt at the SAT? Some consistency this year with a couple of activities (clubs, volunteering) would be a good idea. But make it activities you are interested in, don’t worry much about the application side of it.
Do you have a size preference? How about LACs? Muhlenberg, Franklin & Marshall, and Mount Holyoke (if you are female) come to mind. You should see if your parents can take you on a few visits to check some out. Holy Cross might be one to look at, too.
What about finances? Most colleges have a net price calculator on their financial aid webpage. Work with your parents to run some to see what your cost of attendance looks like.
