<p>If you’re interested in liberal arts colleges, also consider Colorado College. Its one-course-at-a-time “block plan”, and its Rocky Mountain location, facilitate field work in the life sciences. For your qualifications it could be a good “match” college (a bit more selective than Rhodes but less so than Bowdoin or Middlebury). Merit aid is available (maybe around $5K-$10K for those stats).</p>
