<p>I have posted before about the colleges I would want to attend. I am an AA in Georgia. The colleges I would want to attend are Williams, Amherst, Seven Sisters, GA Tech, UGA, and Spelman. In college I want to double major in Biology and Computer Science. My parents don't make much( 20,000-30,000) and I have no savings.Which is best for academics, but also for financial aid and scholarships.</p>
<p>Look at Rice as well:
Great CS and pre-med plus if your parents make under 80k you will get outstanding Fin aid</p>
<p>crazy, you will be eligible for need based financial aid at most private schools, including those on your list. Packages that may include both grants and loans vary from school to school, but as a general statement Williams and Amherst are very generous. </p>
<p>Ask your parents to use an on line financial aid calculator to get an idea of how much need based financial aid you may expect to receive. Among the all women’s schools, Smith also offers generous merit aid. I’m not sure about the others.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about GA Tech, UGA and Spelman so I’m not going to comment on them. Both Williams and Amherst and most of the former Seven Sisters are all excellent academically. There is quite a difference in environment and personality among the Seven Sisters, so it really doesn’t make sense to lump them all together.</p>
<p>Williams, Amherst and Wellesley are also very selective. They actively recruit high achieving African Americans, but your chances of admission would depend primarily on your grades and extracurriculars, though other factors like scores, essays and recommendations are also factors.</p>
<p>Crazy…</p>
<p>Since you’re only a freshman in high school, it is too early to be making college lists. At this point, we have no idea of what your HS GPA will be, what courses you’ll end up taking, or what your test scores will be. </p>
<p>If you end up with modest stats, then most of these schools will not work out. If you end up being a top student taking all the harder courses, and have good test scores, then your chances at these schools will improve.</p>
