<p>I'm a HS junior in PA looking for a good BioChem school in the Northeast. I am not interested in pre-med, but am interested in a school that is research oriented. School size is not that important. Tuition cost is an issue, so I need a school that offers decent scholarships and work study. Initial research points me toward Penn State, Binghamton, RPI, and Boston. Any suggestions? (Good grades, 5th in class of 220, 3.6 GPA)</p>

<p>Hope this helps…I am not sure about their financial aid. However, they are all great research universities as NRC primarily bases its rankings on research outcomes.</p>
<p>Thanks collegebiomed. Anyone have any personal experience regarding the schools I mentioned, or any others?</p>
