1

<p>hi all. i am looking to be a marine biology please chance me for the following schools:</p>

<p>suffolk university
hofstra university
university of maine
university of rhode island
uconn
duke university (i know this is a reach but i just visited yesterday and i loved it!)</p>

<p>i live in new mexico but i really want to move over to the east coast for college so idk if that is something to consider when chancing me. i also go to a public high school. i should also probably add that i am a very intersting mix of ethnicities, my dad is from ethiopia (he is an ethiopian jew) and my mom is asian.</p>

<p>gpa: 4.2 weighted (took as many difficult classes that my school offered)
class rank: 15/459
aps: calculus bc, biology, us history - 4, spanish - 5 (this year i am taking ap physcology and ap environmental science)
act: i took it last june and got a 30 and then took it in september and got a 31
sat 2: math 2 - 640, biology molecular - 650, english lit - 630</p>

<p>ecs:
intern at a local aquarium for 4 months, volunteer with the aquarium before that for 100+ hrs, editor in chief of the science newsletter at my school (2 yrs), varsity tennis player (4 years) and some other stuff... but after visiting duke i really want to do ED!!! so just let me know! thank you!!</p>

<p>I don’t know how competitive marine biology is, but if it is comparable to other majors at Hofstra, then you’re definitely in.</p>

<p>Thanks! If you all know about other schools that offer a marine biology major or a related major just let me know… I’ve found myself really loving a school but then finding out it does not offer a marine biology major and since I am not from the east coast I am not as familiar with the schools over there! So any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>(For instance, I loved schools in Massachusetts like Tufts and Amherst but they don’t offer marine biology so I am not going to apply. I know Duke is a little further down south but they have a good program for marine biology so I am willing to look at schools farther down south on the east coast if they offer marine biology.)</p>
