<p>Do you live in California?</p>
<p>Tell us a bit more about what you are looking for in a school besides the biochem major What size are you looking for? Any preferences about part of the country or location (i.e., urban, rural, suburban)? Describe your ideal student body.Will you need financial aid or are you hoping for merit money? Would you consider a religiously affiliated school? etc. etc. etc. What is it specifically about MIT that you like so much?</p>
<p>I can think of many schools that might be a match for your stats and are good for bio and bio chem but it's awfully hard to make specific recommendations if we don't know what you are looking for!</p>
<p>The biology.about.com site has a list of colleges that are normally included in anyone's list of colleges having the top biology departments in the country. (I've never seen a list like this for any major but biology.) Try looking at:</p>

<p>I think your groupings make a lot of sense. The Super Mods should sticky it somewhere. Then, with Carolyn's help, we could add the Group 2 and 3 Liberal Arts colleges, and have the "cc" listing for all the newbies to check out.</p>
