<p>Willamette would be a good choice for decent merit aid although they seem to increase the initial offer over time which is somewhat frustrating. While Whitman may be a possibility for merit aid, it seems that most of the merit aid went to people from outside of WA state. Vassar was very generous with financial aid even for much greater than 100K income. No merit aid there at all but a substantial financial aid offer compared to other schools (including grant aid). Denison has 40 full tuition scholarships a year. With your stats, you would have a great shot at one. Grinnell in Iowa is another good choice with merit aid and great financial aid.</p>
<p>^^ OP - I feel that double majoring is common at Bard, and your science interest can’t hurt distinguish you. It doesn/t cost much to apply, so why not see what they offer. Also, I suggest you check out their non-binding early action application. You can actually complete the application, then go for an interview and “sample class” and be notified within 48 hours of acceptance status. You might not hear about FA right away, but it will allow you to get a quick read on acceptance.</p>
