I’m trying to find colleges that would be a good fit- I’m only a sophomore, this is hugely intimidating- and I’m just really starting to find schools that I like. Do I have any chances getting into SUNY ESF, UMass at Amherst, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (my first choice.) I definitely know I want to major in Chemistry. If you could, do you have any recommendations for schools that have a good science- particularly Chemistry- programs?
