Should I lock in more or let senioritis hit and cruise

So my gr12 average rn is 83 ish and I’ve got accepted into my #1 choice with a conditional of maintaining a 78 gr12 average.

However, I only want to go to my #1 choice if my friend makes it there too bc ain’t no way I’m going far away with no friends and crippling social anxiety. 🥴🥴 My friend hasn’t applied yet and honestly I fear it isn’t looking too good for him (as of right now, his average doesn’t meet the minimum requirement for his program, it’s off by a few percent).

I live in Toronto and I haven’t gotten accepted to any universities nearby bc I haven’t even applied for them (besides applying for utsg life science for amusement purposes — I think I’m gonna get rejected from there). My friend and I were so confident we were definitely gonna make it in together but grade 12 was so much harder and now everything seems so uncertain 😭🙏

Anyways so should I

  1. Lock tf in and be stressed n depressed and collect acceptances like Pokémon so I get more options
  2. Cruise and go to my #1 choice far away but ditch my friend, screw my anxiety and risk it all.
  3. Somehow tutor the hell out of my friend and pray he makes it in while I do something between cruising and locking in
