A bit unethical/not the best advice but if you do not need a good environment to perform (hard bc people need a good environment to do well) aka you can do well in any environment, you can join any school. Colleges care about your school so if they see you doing well in a "bad" school then they think you are resilient. but this is unethical bc "bad" schools are lacking resources. So go to the best school you can but if you cannot make it, it is not the end of the world.
