<p>Stats 4.0. Unweighted
Rank 1/val

Concurrent 4.0 30credits
Native American/ oklahoma
Ec NHS, captain of quiz team, 4 years robotics programmer etc
Earth sciences/ geology major
Applied to colorado school of mines as it is a rolling ad
Applied to Harvard sea / great financial aid /could afford based on net cal. Know it's a long shot
Will apply to OU safety
My top choice if I could go anywhere would be Brown and I will apply although I don't know if my stats are good enough?
Will apply to Washington u at St. Louis I believe this is a match for me
My issue is all the schools where my efc is below 30000 are the very top schools such as Stanford, Yale, Amherst
It seems as though my choices are OU state school which I don't want to go to and schools I probably can't get into.
Isn't there any middle ground? Should I just apply to as many as the top schools as I can and hope my Native American status helps more than I realize lol? Any advise would be appreciated </p>
<p>Fortunately you have an excellent in state safety for your proposed major. OU’s geology program has a huge number of resources for its undergrads and fantastic industry connections. Just tour the Sarkey’s complex if you ever have doubts about the geology program</p>
<p>For combo of Earth science and good FA apply to these schools:
Brown
Vanderbilt
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Dartmouth
Duke
Colorado College
U Rochester
Carleton
Northwestern
UChicago
Case Western
Wesleyan
University of Southern California
Princeton
University of Miami (I suspect good merit)
Colgate University
Middlebury
Bowdoin
Lehigh
Whitman</p>
<p>Thank you for the advise. I visited OU and while I know it is a good fit in many ways I just want to live somewhere new. I have been advised to get a BS instead of a BA so that really eliminates a lot of choices.</p>
<p>The BS/ BA thing is school dependant. If the university requires a math and physics heavy geology track, and the school only awards BAs keep the school on the list. If the BA program is rather light on the quantative side of geology, then eliminating the school might make sense? </p>
