What Colleges Should I Apply to?

My advice would be that your energy should be focused not on college applications but getting your junior year grades up by midterms to put you in the best position for a selective college in your future. When an AO sees your application most are going to think …. This is a really smart student but clearly not motivated academically in junior year, not sure I want to take a chance on them.

There will be a college ( possibly a selective one) that will accept you but it will just be luck to be a great fit.

The fact that you don’t state your budget is a sign that you are still too immature yet to fully understand the magnitude of this decision.

I love that you have a passion for social work and. helping others. School is boring to you… I don’t think freshman college classes will feel that much different on that front in the near future. If you want to go to a selective school- Better for you to take the year to mature (maybe a gap year finding ways to help others to enhance your college resume). This will best position you make the optimal college choice. Good luck!
