Got Matches?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Alright, I'm a junior trying to compile a college list. I've found my reaches (Stanford EA, HYP, MIT, Rice) and my safeties (UIUC- double legacy, LSU Honors) but I'm having trouble finding **match schools<a href="all%20I%20have%20is%20Tulane?">/b</a>. Here's a quick rundown of my stats:</p>

<p>[ul]
[<em>]Asian female, public Louisiana school
[</em>]4.0, rank 1 of 484
[<em>]perfect SAT I (old) & IIs... please don't kill me
[li]AMC 10: 116; AMC 12: 115, AIME: 3[/li][</em>]ECs: piano (10 yrs, district awards), Science Olympiad (co-captain for 3 yrs, many regional/state medals), Mu Alpha Theta (district awards, a couple state ones, and 1 national), tennis (2 yrs), Writer's Club (treasurer), Beta Club (officer)
[/ul]
Right now, I'm thinking of majoring in biochem or double majoring in bio & chem, so I'm looking for schools with strong science programs. I'd like fellow college students to care about academics, but also know how to de-stress and have fun (and have time to do so).
Location: doesn't matter much, but suburban > urban > rural
Size: big enough to be diverse, but not huge (more populous than a small city, heh)
Greek system: the less, the better
Coed?: preferably</p>

<p>Thanks for bearing with me, and I appreciate any suggestions you have.</p>

<p>I certainly think you'll get into some of your "reaches" but Cornell and Johns Hopkins might be worth a look.</p>

<p>I think almost any school is a match for you... :)
But if you want real security try Duke, JHU, Cornell, University of Rochester, Washington Univ. STL</p>

<p>I'd have to disagree with FishS and hopkins. Cornell has a big Greek presence and it's a huge school and very rural.</p>

<p>Brown, JHU, Upenn, Northwestern seem like good fits and you'd probably get in too.</p>

<p>Hm, thanks for the suggestions ^.^ I was thinking about JHU earlier but my counselor kinda scared me with comments about how competitive the science people were. I'll have to look into the other schools. :)</p>

<p>Anyway, about how much merit aid do those schools give? They seem a bit selective to be giving much $$.</p>
