Great Math and Science Colleges????

<p>What are some great math and science Colleges to explore my interests?
GPA: 3.6 (Junior year killed me)
Had 4 Aps First Semester/Second Semester
AP US History: B-/A-
AP English 11 B-/B+
Spanish 3: B/B
AP Calc B/C: B-/B+(.2 percent!!!!! sooooooo close)
AP Physics C (Mechanics) B/A-</p>

<p>Should not taken AP US!!!</p>

<p>ACT: 27 also waiting for December ACT Score
SAT Subject tests: Physics: 620
Math 2: 730 (Also waiting for December results)</p>

<p>Cost constraints? State of residency?</p>

<p>Is math a likely major, or something else?</p>

<p>It is a bit odd to be two grades ahead in math (calculus BC as a high school junior) but not otherwise find math to be an easy A with 800 on SAT subject and 5 on AP tests in math.</p>

<p>Im in Multivariable now
California, Cant really qualify for Financial Aid</p>

<p>I just spread myself too thin across all my classes. Im good at math, but not with all the stuff I tried to put myself through high school.</p>

<p>Im just looking for a college to explore my interests and ill probably shoot for transfers, but for now ill try to get into what I can.</p>

<p>If you cannot qualify for financial aid, what is the price limit that you are working under?</p>

<p>I.e. if your parents tell you that they can pay $60,000 per year for your college, you do not really have cost constraints. But if they say $35,000 per year or less, then you are looking at a net price equivalent to in-state UC list price. If they say $25,000 per year or less, then you are looking at a net price equivalent to in-state CSU list price. Those within commuting range would be several thousand dollars cheaper.</p>

<p>While starting at community college and transferring as a junior to a UC or CSU is another common money-saving method, it is less academically appropriate for you, since your progress in math would be stalled, since you would not be able to take upper division math courses at a community college. If majoring in math is a strong possibility, you need a four year school with a strong math department, preferably with graduate level math courses and research opportunities, given that you are quite advanced in math.</p>

<p>No cost restraints</p>

<p>Drexel, St. Mary’s of Maryland, Rochester Institute of Technology, Lehigh, Clark, Allegheny, Florida Institute of Technology, UMaryland–these are the ones in the east that i’m familiar with. Good luck.</p>

<p>Lycoming’s math department appears to be rather small, with limited upper division course offerings (considering that the OP will have completed most or all lower division math courses while in high school):

<p>Universities that are not super-selective with good math department reputations, assuming no cost constraints:</p>

<p>various UCs
Arizona
Indiana
Maryland
Michigan State
Minnesota
Ohio State
Penn State
Purdue
Rutgers
Stony Brook
Utah</p>
