I’m a junior starting to look into colleges, and am a bit lost at what colleges I should be looking to apply to. I’m currently at the most highly regarded Catholic high school in my area, and we send about 15 grads a year to Notre Dame alone, several others ( about 7 per year are accepted) to Cornell, several are accepted into Georgetown, and a small group go to other T20s.

My school doesn’t rank students
