<p>So right now im a rising senior and im not sure where I want to go to College but I have some ideas. first I should let you know the schools I am looking at right now:
Emory University, Boston College, Rice, Boston University, Wake Forest, Univ. Texas- Austin, A&M, SMU.
I really have no clue where I want to go but i would love to go to a school with intelligent individuals. Another determining factor would be money. I have to go to a place that would be cheap to go to since my brother and sister are both already in college. This is probably the biggest deciding factor for college. So if you have any ideas of where I should apply let me know please.
But more to the point, what do you think the chances are of me getting into and receiving aid and/or scholarship to the schools listed above??
My intended major would either be Biochemistry or Biomedical Engineering. Thanks for your help. Here is some of my info</p>
