<p>I'm a high school senior interested in pursuing environmental studies and double majoring in either polisci/german/journalism! I have a fairly long list of schools, but I'd really like some suggestions as to what schools I could add to my list/cut/are within my range.</p>

<p>I'm currently looking at:
Pitzer
Vassar
Colgate
Claremont McKenna
Macalester
Tufts
Oberlin
Northwestern
Swarthmore
Carleton
Brandeis
Reed
University of Washington
Middlebury
UC Davis

<p>I like smaller, liberal arts colleges that have a diverse, fairly close-knit student body and are located near big cities or larger suburbs.
My stats:
3.82 unweighted GPA
11 AP classes total
2240 SAT
700 Literature, 780 German, 690 US History</p>

<p>ECs:
Editor-in-Chief of newspaper

<p>I’ll put in a plug for Oberlin. Excellent program, beautiful environmental studies building, and they walk the talk.</p>

<p>Also, if it matters, between the Con and their Shansi program the have a very high number of Chinese and Taiwanese students on campus.</p>
