Chemistry Grad School Help

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for graduate schools (chemistry Ph.D):</p>

<pre><code>I'm a senior at a competitive liberal arts college (Bard College) and have not-so-good grades...roughly a B/B- student with science grades higher than most others...a few extracurriculars and I'm very involved on campus...and I've had solid research experience including a great high school internship at a local college, 3+ years of lab research under my advisor, an NSF REU summer research program, and my name on 2 publications (2nd and 3rd author)...I would prefer a campus on a coast (next to a body of water at least) but am entirely flexible because of my grades specifically...any ideas?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
